> You'll yell,
> "Now I want it to stay this way!" And it will...

> You will prepare a perfect dinner with a salad that hasn't had all the

> "Now this is a meal for company." And you will eat it alone...
>
> You'll yell, "I want complete privacy on the phone.
> No screaming, Do you hear me?"

> No PTA meetings or silly school plays where your child is a tree,
> no car pools, blaring stereos or fogotten lunch money.
> No more Christmas presents made of library past and toothpicks.
> no Wet Oatmeal Kisses, ....no more tooth fairy,..... no more giggles in
> the dark,
>
> no more scraped knees to kiss or sticky fingers to clean
> Only a voice asking, "Why don't you grow up?"
> And the silence echoes:

> v
> v
> "I did"
