With a happy meal in his booster seat

Knowing that he couldn't have the toy till his nuggets were
gone

Green traffic light turned straight to red
交通灯在我前方突然由绿变红
I hit my breaks and mumbled¹ under my breath
我赶紧刹车 吓的我差点噎住
As fries went a flying and his orange drink covered his lap

Well then my four year old said a four letter word

Then this side of bedtime later that night

Turning on my son's scooby doo nightlight

He crawled⁵ out of bed and he got down on his knees

He closed his little eyes, folded his little hands
