HOWLING

For quite some time Mimi loves to pretend she is an animal of some sort. Usually she is a dog.
A couple of months ago, around 9:30 at night, I heard Brandy's dogs barking from across the street. I also heard some howling going on. I started thinking to myself "Hmmm.....I wonder whose dog is that, that is howling and making the other dogs bark? Don't THOSE NEIGHBORS hear the howling and barking? And don't most people get ready for bed around this time of night especially when they have kids?"

It was not long afterward when I realized where the howling was coming from.................it was coming from MIMI'S BEDROOM!!!!! I was downstairs and heard the howling coming from her bedroom window. Needless to say, I ran upstairs only to find her sitting by her open window and howling at moon. The girl was supposed to be in bed. Egads!!! No wonder I have a whole headfull of grayhairs.

This afternoon I have the backdoor open because it is quite warm outside. I can hear the birds chirpping and the children laughing and playing on the school ground behind our house. When what do my wondering ears I hear? Some kid just howling away like a hound dog. I swear it must be Mimi.
