One up one down
Jumping in and jumping out
Mommy screaming
"Boy You be careful"
"One step at a time we should go"
I just dont care
I jump upto three steps high
Climb down two.....
What a fun to do
Mommy with a cold eye
Screwing my ear slight
" Dont ever do that I am Scared"
Given her a Naughty smile
She cant be angry with me anymore
Pat my back
"Be Careful I dont want a broken bone"
After 25 years
I think back....
Yes that was the best lesson in the world
No point in climbing two steps
For one day you are sure for a broken Legs.............
Ha -- sometimes it takes a LONG time to realize that Mother indeed gave very wise advice. Good one, Lasha!!
ReplyDeleteI like the realistic feel.
ReplyDeleteThere is indeed a point when parental advice comes to make sense! And wait until you hear yourself talk like them.
to disobey is childhood and reflection is adulthood and so many steps in between....... nice write up :)
ReplyDeletei dont know to be scared or thankful that we begin to see like our parents...and speak like them at times as well...
ReplyDeleteI loved to climb 2 or 3 steps at a time and then jump down.and my mom scolded me. so I used to practice this on he sly. took me down memory lane.
