Willa of the Valley

Willa and Neva, my 4- and 8-year-old daughters, appeared with a beautiful bouquet of Lily of the Valley last night. But an argument over who picked what and how many belonged to whom sent Willa off down the sidewalk upset.

"I'm going to pick my own!" she huffed.

"Wait a minute!" I called after her. "Are you picking them at the neighbours house?"

She nodded yes, while Neva was suspiciously silent.

"You can't pick those, honey, they're not ours."

Still in a snit, with the attitude and tone to match, Willa retorted, "Nobody was lookin'!"

Happy sweeping!
