Mama's angels

Each week Ronovan Hester offers a Haiku Prompt Challenge. This week the two words are SNEAK and NIGHT. All sorts of images come to mind when I consider these two words, but one image in particular stands out: toddlers sneaking out of their crib while everyone else sleeps.

As a mom of four (three of them boys), I tried everything to keep my little angels in their crib. It was a battle I never won. And, so, here's my Haiku, which I've entitled: Mama's Angels.

This made me giggle Gwen and reminded me of finding my daughter (aged about 4) in the kitchen late one night, face and hands covered in chocolate and the look of pure innocence. Thank you for the smile :)

Super Gwen. You captured what we have all experienced, not only with our own children, but with our parents as well.

You made me laugh, John. I suspect you were quite the mischievous child. :D
