Love = Talk = Silence

. . . my kids talk, as I'm sure many kids do.
. . . correction, my kids talk ALOT !
. . . my kids talk LOUD!
. . . my kids talk NON STOP!

I am a very social person. I have lots of friends and family close by. I also love to talk. But sometimes, just sometimes, I like some quiet.

Do you remember "quakers meeting"? We used to play it as a kid and I think I was the one who lost most of the times. Today, in the car we tried Quakers Meeting. My daughter recited the chant, we all laughed, then there was SILENCE! For almost 10 seconds.

I love my kids just the way they are but understand (especially after today) why I love the evenings when I crawl into bed with a good book after kissing their sleeping heads good night. I love the silence because it is so rare. . .
