brick

colby and his dad were having it out last night over various unworthy argument subjects - rosie barking too much, how to best fix the floor in the third room, plans for easter, etc. maybe not so much actually arguing, but mike really raises his voice and pretty much yells at you so you have to yell back. functional, right? anyways, i was sitting in my cute brown chair drinking crystal light (as i am so often doing when i have an "aha" moment), letting this ridiculous exchange between two little boys really bother me, when i decided to tell myself that i dont care.

and can you believe what happened?

i actually didnt! it was amazing. i had zero control over the larger and more gray little boy, and though i like to think the other little boy is sometimes my marionnette, i remembered that i cant control what he does or says either. and if rosie barks its because she has something to say. and just like that,

i chucked the brick.
