Kids, an ongoing post

#1. try not to take them to 'adult' parties
#2. don't take them to wash clothes really late at night and wonder why they keep whining
#3. teach them to dance
#4. I may not agree that he is not ready but, I will be supportive until he is

At a certain age you want to push boundaries. It might be done subconsciously; it's something that's exhilarating and dangerous. But, there are things that just should not be pushed. Want to stay out till 2 am dancing, tagging, or just chillin', fine but don't risk walking down dark corridors or drinking out of botellas destapadas.

 #5. kids become fussy and/or whiny after they start to feel better from being sick

The Children of the Home

The wall is yellow with spots of lines made by a pencil The orange wall across from it is filled with swirls of red and green color She sits on brown steps in-between these walls Concentrating on the images and the words of a song she plays and repeats on a phone. The kids laugh and play along One on the drums another la-la-ing words from a song The father plays scales on his bass and plays excerpts of the kids favorite songs Everyone is full of joy  It’s comforting to live in this moment,  There are no worries The afternoon storm has passed this home. “Pizza time! Pizza time!” the son yells to all who come through the door. “It has cheese and spinach and pepperoni” then says no more. The TV is loudly playing a show. “Teen Titans GO!”, he yells, singing along to the words of the theme song He sits quietly, enjoying his food  So transfixed is he,  That he doesn’t notice some pieces food has fallen to floor.
