Four Eyes

What happens when you get married?
And then you have kids?
And then work changes?
And then and then and then?

Every once in a while a couple is tracking along just fine and then an incident happens that makes you realize that there really are two people in this relationship after all.

For example, the eight year old comes back in from playing and is covered in mud and glowing with joy with the sheer tactile thrill of warm, oozy mud pies between the fingers....

Mom screams "To the hose then to the laundry!!!!"

Dad thinks "Looks like that was fun!!!"

I think it takes four eyes to look out for a household. Hers and mine.
