Uh Oh... (Children)

Uh oh, when Mommy’s on her knees in front of me it’s clear, she has something that she wants to say that I won’t want to hear. (Did I hit my sister? Did I maybe tell a lie? Did I forget to make my bed?) This time, I don’t know why. At least she doesn’t stand and yell the way some grownups do, or get right in my face to tell me what to do … (Did I spill my milk? Did I do bad in school? Did I forget to clean a mess? Did I somehow break a rule?) Sometimes, I know what I did wrong and I tell her, there and then. It helps to say I’m sorry and I won’t do that again, but this time, I don’t have a clue to what I might have done. Hey … I just got a hug and kiss! This time it was just for fun!
