I slept in today, and the kids, they did play

games on the wii and the ipad.

And nothing's been done, and they're still having fun,

but the mom guilt is getting quite bad.

I hear those two brothers making more piles of clutter

And I know they'll need picking up after

Nerf bullets are flying... but nobody's crying,

so far, all I hear is their laughter.

Piano, and chores, and just look at these floors

There's so much round here to be done!

Does it matter, really? Or would I just be silly

to stop them from having such fun?

Drinking coffee, just me, letting kiddos run free,

it's sure to erupt in violence.

But nothing's gone wrong! They're just.. getting along!

To me, this is better than silence.
