Well, that was fun.

And poor Mom, sitting there, a mere thirteen hours from making us play Hide 'n' Seek. Alack and Alas! Am I the sole one that cares? Am I to shoulder the Burden alone? Ah, but easy is the yoke and the mouths of the kine that tread the grain shall not be bound for should Mom fall into a pit who but I would be there to rescue her?

That's why I'm her favorite.
