Mummy got cross last night. Elder Son and Daughter decided that after lights out they’d play again. This time bouncing on Mummy and Daddy’s bed. On top of the pile of clean washing that had been placed there. Mummy lost her cool and shouted. Elder son ran back to bed and stayed there. Daughter was carried back to bed.
Mummy went downstairs and returned to chores (cleaning the downstairs bathroom). Daddy started emptying the dishwasher. And then he was aware of a little being standing in the doorway watching him.
“Daughter, what are you doing here?”
Mummy hears Daddy (and realises that she must have left the stair gate open). So thunder-faced enters the kitchen and silently picks up Daughter to carry her back to bed once more.
“Hallo Mammy!”
Daughter leans cute little button nose against mummy’s nose, looks into eyes, and says again,
“Hallo Mammy!”
Mummy dissolves into laughter.
So much for discipline.
