Police on speed dial.
The sounds of scuffling came from the bedroom.
I peeked my head in, to the sight of two children in discord; I surmised quickly that the elder had committed the near-unpardonable offense of trying to use her brother's drumstick.
- "Daddy, will you call the police?" our son asked me with frustrated indignation.
"Why?" I asked. "Why do you want me to call the police?"
- "So they will come take Sissy away."
"Well..." I pondered this. "I'm not sure where my phone is right now. How about we find another way to work this out?"
-"Okay," he said.
So everyone stayed out of jail. Hallelujah.

Something pretty in the ruins (I will write this well to remember it well).
I stepped in water while wearing socks…but at least I didn’t step on a framing nail.
I got thrown up on by a child…but at least I didn’t get pooped on by a child.
