Uh oh, when Mommy’s on her knees br in front of me it’s clear, br she has something that she wants to say br that I won’t want to hear. br br (Did I hit my sister? br Did I maybe tell a lie? br Did I forget to make my bed?) br This time, I don’t know why. br br At least she doesn’t stand and yell br the way some grownups do, br or get right in my face br to tell me what to do … br br (Did I spill my milk? br Did I do bad in school? br Did I forget to clean a mess? br Did I somehow break a rule?) br br Sometimes, I know what I did wrong br and I tell her, there and then. br It helps to say I’m sorry br and I won’t do that again, br br but this time, I don’t have a clue br to what I might have done. br Hey … I just got a hug and kiss! br This time it was just for fun!br br C.J.
