They say family lasts forever
This saying holds very true
Mom, Dad and the rest of the crazy bunch
This one is for you
As I'm walking through the front door
I see mom, spatula in her hand
"If I ever catch you in my kitchen again,
Ill make you wash the pots and pans!"
Little Johnny grins widely at me
Mischievously running around the room
Its amazing what damage a 4 year old can do
With some ketchup and a spoon
Next comes dad bustling in
"what is this commotion all about?"
I cover my eyes, fearing the worst
As a perfect "o" is made by his mouth
Instead of the torrent of cursing
Comes a deep and jovial sound
Dad begins to clap and laugh
As little Johnny still runs around
Jenna comes sprinting into the room
Facial mask and hair all curled up
I swear she could have scared the dead
With that "organic" facial muck
As our crazy clan gather in the lounge
Just waiting for the setting sun
We all begin to laugh out loud
Thursday games night has finally begun
