Part of Slice of Life by Two Writing Teachers
It's one of those days That kind of a day Somehow you don't have too much homework you don't have to drive people too many places Somehow you let yourself plan sitting on the porch, listening to the rain, reading (This is where you are allowed to laugh at me) It's one of those days That kind of a day Home from work you find 2 kids making vegan chocolate eggs, cadbury style the counter is a chocolate-smelling disaster so you pause and just smile It's one of those days That kind of day Finnegan cries, he wants to go out He sniffs for a minute but then he wants in He's a lab mix who is scared of the rain so he whines to go in He whines to go in It's one of those days That kind of day Sitting on the porch, 2 plates of vegan chocolate are served You need to try each kind, so you can vote Which looks better? Which tastes better? Which chocolate ratio is best? Which has the best texture? It's one of those days That kind of day One child didn't want to make chocolate eggs but chocolate chip muffins and now the chocolate chips are gone "I'm late" "I'm late to make muffins!" He says and your heart breaks to hear that someone is late to make muffins It's one of those days That kind of day You remake chocolate chips with leftover melted chocolate chips spreading chocolate on the one small piece of parchment paper left hoping it is 3/4 cup and adding a chopped up vegan chocolate bunny to round it out It's one of those days That kind of a day After the lame dinner of pizza toast and salad you are served another treat the chocolate chip muffins are done! A+ muffins Enough treats for days Enough dishes for days too (No sugar tomorrow!) It's one of those days That kind of a day Your mini-baker adds the recipe to the new family recipe book and you watch him add notes highlights and your heart melts more than that chocolate to see his third-grade writing that will one day maybe be read by his third-grade kid It's one of those days That kind of a day
