“Wake up time?â€
“One more hour.â€
“Wake up time now?â€
“It’s only been three minutes.â€
“Why no wake up time?â€
Ugh.
“Have wattles?â€
Fine.
“Here.”
Now to make coffee.
“MORE WATTLES!â€
“… Pease?â€
Uggggh.

If you have a toddler, you know that they have two volumes: loud and louder. Good thing they are so cute.
This was written for the Trifecta Trifextra: Week Seven Writing Challenge: “…give us a story or snippet of a story which includes, in exactly 33 words, a justified exclamation pointâ€.
I seen your tags motherhood and Trifecta and I read Mother Theresa. Better you than me. smiles
🙂 There is a reason God gives us children when we are young and still energetic. My 20 year old (today) grandson is sitting in my chair right now watching tv with his gramps. Where did the time go when HE was a toddler and demanding BALL! everytime we took him to the store?
Nicely done! Very sweet.
I love ‘wattles’. So very true. Loud! and LOUDER are still my son’s two volumes at age 4.
Thanks for linking up to this weekend’s Trifecta Challenge. Wattles, indeed. Children are all exclamation, aren’t they? From the first crack of dawn in the morning until the very end of the day. And usually a few times each night, just for good measure. Loved your response. Hope to see you again soon.
Yes, I would agree to anything when I worked nights. Soda? Sure. Just let me sleep a little longer. I can’t remember what brought the exclamation point except the ducks quacking for their dog food at 4 pm. But I am sure there were many. Good imagery. Evelyn
