Thread: Getting the Children Ready

During the cold of a June winter, a family was preparing to go out for
an evening activity.
SWMBO, who was normally bustling about getting the children ready to leave,
was this evening instead standing right inside the front door, her arms full
of coats.

And instead of being prepared to leave, her four small
children were busy running circles around her playing one of
their non-stop games of tag.

Mere Male, coming down the stairs, was shocked at the
spectacle.

"Honey," he said, "What are you doing just standing there?
We'll be late!"

"Here," SWMBO replied, handing him the coats with a smug
smile, "I thought that this time you would like to have the
privilege of putting the children into their coats, while I
go and honk the horn."
