and they think they get away with murder...not even realizing the evidence is showing...
I just love this...we thought we were so sneaky when we were kids...but the parents knew more than they ever let on.
thanks for this smile this morning, Cherrie.

Just laughed aloud at that last line! What a lovely finish to a delightfully colourful piece of writing, a story of sweet sibling goings-on set in a gentle yet fun-gasping time! ' Her pooling eyes of grey, - says a storm, will come our way. ' And that can happen, were seven of us.. and though we were usually gentle and kind, there could be the odd shouty, moany time!
Delightful and memorable, Cherrie.

Laughing even at that, trying to imagine how it was.. remembering back.. Enjoy your day, Cherrie.
This is so lovely, I absolutely adore the way you capture a childlike quality and playfulness throughout, yet it is accompanied with great imagery of a storm which touches upon the mischief and potential danger of being naughty and getting found out - as experienced by the child. I really enjoyed this,
Thank you,
Laura

Thank you Julie
I have to confess I thought the Granny Goose was funny too.
I'm going to resist saying this poem should be printed on a terrycloth towel and hanging on someone's kitchen wall.
Instead, Cherrie, I'll go with cute, charming and endearing

Thank you Jimmy, I guess I had one of those granny goose moments:)
Soooooo Sweet Cherrie! Love the innocence, flow, lilt and rhyme of it. Children at their wonderful mischief- irresistable! So like a nursery rhyme in its lovely sing-song musicality. We feel the beaming warmth of a mother’s-love for her children shining through from beginning to end. Just beautiful.

I like when a writing stops being about the words written and becomes a door to a memory.
Absolutely adorable...and so filled with love for a son and daughter. Perfect for this week because it was Sibling's day! Lydi**
