Sorry, Can’t Talk…

This slice is part of the March Slice of Life Challenge on  Two Writing Teachers! #sol26. I’m slicing every day in March. Thanks for stopping by!

Oh my gosh, guys.
I can’t talk, guys.

My college kid is coming home
his sister went to bring him home
for the weekend

No big deal
Nothing unusual
He comes home a lot

But oh my gosh, guys.
Do you know what he said?

He said
Home around 7
for family pizza and a movie.

Maybe he’s going to ask me for money
or something
But my other kids said
sounds fun
And I picked up the pizza
And some vegan ice cream too

Oh my gosh, guys.
Do you think the kids will agree
on a movie?

I’m so glad I started steroids for my cough yesterday.
that’s the only way I’ll stay up for this.

  1. Oh my gosh! I know exactly how you feel. You totally captured the feeling and thought process. I love that you wrote it as a free verse. That is how I feel as well. And lucky you, yours stays and spends time with the family. Mine drops his bags and heads head.
