That's what Tempestuous Jack
asked his mother this morning
after I upbraided him about his
rough treatment of a younger cousin.
He said he wanted to go and live
with his friend's family,
with a different father.
He's five now and capable
of making big moves,
but tonight he's back.
I tickle him with chin stubble
then he lays here next to me, snug,
looking to see what I'm writing.
He calls the two little people
on the Windows Live ID icon
"Sad Debbies" and
we both laugh
and laugh.
I'm glad he's home.

so funny,
normal question and reaction for kids when they are punished by their parents, of course friendly parents!
reminded me my childhood with the same reaction
