Excuse of the Day

DAILY SNACK

This just in.

If you thought that newborns or six-month olds or one-year olds don’t like it when you use the computer,

You are right.

But that is nothing compared to the ire of a fifteen-month old,

Whose parent would deign to direct their attention toward a backlit screen.

The screaming, the tugging, the scratching.

The climbing up your leg and onto your lap,

And the smashing of little hands on keyboards,

Means that I my Daily Snacks have been somewhat less than daily as of late.

But I am catching up on the laundry.
