Nice Senryu for a situation where one is helpless and in spite of wishing for peace find it unfair to stop a bubbly granddaughter's sweet babbles...lol..

Yeah, i hadn't the heart to say "shut it up". I love her dearly.

She just turned two and
I don't see her often,
so I cherish every moment
i do get to have her pollute my air
with her precious noise.

Enjoyed,

Yeah

I get some balance because if she goes two days without calling or seeing me she cries and harass her mother." I want mama". I can hear her crying in the background. Once she realize I'm on the phone she calms down. lol
