Questions Parents Shouldn't Ask

What did you do?
Where did you go?
Why weren’t you back
        an hour ago?
How come your shirts
ripped on the sleeve?
Why are you wet?
When did you leave?

What scratched your face?
When did you eat?
Where are your shoes?
Look at your feet!

How did you get
paint in your hair?
Where have you been?
Don’t kick the chair!

Say something now!
I’ll give you ‘til ten!


huh!!

“see if I ever come home again!”
