Skating With Scissors, and Other Childhood Catastrophies

Crash! Smack! Ow! The chair broke. Yeow! Galump! Swoosh! A cat runs away with glue on its tail. Vroom! Crunch! Grrr... Dad's motorcycle met its end. Clip! Clip! Done. The raspberry patch is no more. Pop! Wheee! Plop! A jar of peaches sits on mom's head. Ahhhh!!!! She's gonna get us! We're dead! Two children's little legs dash over the threshold. HE He he he... Gurgle, growl, burp, Tummies are empty. Whimper, pout, please! Hush. We're hungry, we'll clean, we're sorry. Sigh, reach, hug, Love.
