The Kids
The kKds
by: Devin Balmilero
A group of kids running around their house, being cowboys.
They all start playing
on their video game systems
not minding the call from their mother
calling them down for dinner
like they have rooms made of soundproof material.
But after a second time,
they come down
and they are met with a surprise
when their mother was mad like a shark.
They try to say they didn’t hear but she did not want to hear it.
