With my darkling

Holding her on my lap
I tell her
I have to go to bed
I have to work tommorrow

she says
"can I go with you?"
no, I tell her
and she tells me
"I miss you"

I sat there silent for a moment
and then replied
"how about I call work"
and tell them to stick it in their ear?
and tommorrow
we just stay home and shoot hoops,
and have lunch at the lake?

she replied
"can you do that?"
and I told her
"without even thinking"

and her reaction made it easy

They can stick it in their ear

It is said the Creator has taken a handful of South Wind and given each newborn Arabian the power of flight without wings
