You were wondering how i chose what to write about
look out the window see a child minder dragging a toddler along
in the rain, ignoring the toddler cos she is too busy on the phone
so I throw a HO HO HO and the child stops crying
but the girl is still on the phone
defiant you don't know what I'm doing she says
I do know
you are a bad childminder
IF you were calling parent
STOP and do it properly
but you were scrolling
Makes me sick
Children are not a one night stand
YOU love them and treasure them
I've seen too many phone parents
GET OFF THE PHONE and TALK to them
even if you are a bored child minder
those precious minutes make all the difference
will any of the neglected kids
visit you every single day for 3 years
I did
AND I akd my own daughters
did I talk to you much when you were small
DAD YOU NEVER STOPPED
treasure and look after your kids
because in an instant
they are at the TOP universities in the world
and time has passed away
SO that one look out the door and recorded
on multiple RING DOORBELLS
is just how a story passes by and I hook it up
Different cultures have different views too
BUT LOVE LOVE LOVE
is the one and only message
and when I write I hope you feel the love
and the laughter too
P.S Our Childminder has a degree in microbiology too
her husband died of a bad heart 10 years ago around the time
I had a Quadruple heart bypass
So there by the Grace of God I'm still here talking to you
while she has 2 daughters and misses her husband
