Interupt-us

Big family = a lot of talkers

Everyone wants to be heard
Some fade into the background
While the others carry on, loud, noisy as can be

It's frustrating
But it happens
And it is clearly impossible that it will never happen again

Be aware of timing
Work the situation
Instead of letting the situation work you
Griping about it only makes you annoying
And hard to be around

Deal with it.

We're not going anywhere
We're stuck with the interruptions
Side conversations
Oblivious responses
Pretend nods
Distracted smiles

You're guilty!
That's what makes this so absurd
You get so upset

Yet you do the same EXACT thing!

Sit back.
Relax.
Observe.
Enjoy
the Noise
Love
the Family
and know that when the time is right
You will be heard.
You always are...eventually.
