Starlings- making mornings more tolerable.

Starling- "Mom?"
April- "Busy. Working. Play with your whiffle ball."
Starling- "MOM."
April- (Putting down book) "What...oh. Dear. How did you manage to get that messy?"
Starling- "I don't know. Can I have the big bowl of water to splash in now so I can reach my back?"
April- "....yes. But I am going to laugh at you for a bit."
