Got up early this morning again for my morning walk, only to hear Squawky and Cranky at it again. You know how annoying it is to have to listen to that? I've only heard them at it once since we got back in March, but I remember hearing them last year at different times. It doesn't seem to matter who is around, they are ready to find something to complain about. Despite it being one of the most gorgeous days of the year, and despite living in such a great place, they see no need to hide their bickering from any of the neighbours. And they always seem to find something to complain about. Dalton would scowl when he heard them, too. One day we were down island, and we actually heard them down there. So they don't just save it for the "privacy" of their own home.
I often wonder at school, how many kids get subjected to parents like Squawky and Cranky. How many times do they arrive trying to put it out of their heads, and try and carry on with their day, only to have one of the two sneaking back into their thoughts. And how many reluctantly head home at the end of the day, dreading what they have to put up with in the evening.
So thankful that Dalton never has to go through that. I'm not saying we never have disagreemnets, but we are both pretty passive people, so yelling and screaming is not in our forte.
Maybe I won't hear Squawky or Cranky again this summer. That would certainly make my day more peaceful, and that of their offspring!!
