On the importance of listening


Jamie: "Mom, can I use any tool from the garage except the saws?"
Mom (deep in thought over a coffee and at the computer reading): "Mmhm."

A short while later mom realizes that all is quiet in the house but a faint thump, thump can be heard out in the back yard. Looking out the back window she sees her child swinging the grub hoe with all the strength his seven year old body can muster. Apparently, the play house is in need of a moat for protection against attackers. Mom is in need of another coffee.
