Listening to the topics of conversation that drift from the kitchen while two kids are doing dishes make my heart sing. I'vc heard everything from Why Are You Mad At Me to The Best Place To Hide Your Cell Phone At School. They've discussed to smell of carrot cake to the most efficient way to clean a pan, and why some kids are mean to some friend that is dating a guy that is no longer dating the guy. Sometimes these conversations are more stressful to me than music to my ears; tonight has been a beautiful thing. Of course, me sitting in the recliner while somebody else cleans the kitchen is always a beautiful thing.
Another thing that made me smile? One kid asking me if they could run a load of laundry. Seriously? Do all the laundry you want. Maybe I should put off washing clothes more often. And with that, I better quit while I'm ahead. Although if you could hear one particular kid singing to the cat right now, you would laugh, too.
And yes, I know... tomorrow the chances of all three of them arguing are very high.
That's why we take the good when we can get it. I know how this plays out.
