Those kids grew. They grew and they grew and they grew. They grew
until the girl was four years old and the boy was almost two. They got
into half a kilo of glaxal base. The girl opened the lid and encouraged
the boy to make a mess while their father was working on dinner. They
smeared it on the walls. They rubbed it on the shower curtain. They
covered every flat surface and had it running in globs until it went
splat on the floor.
Sometimes their parents would say "these ki
ds are driving me CRAZY!"
But when those kids were acting nuts and needed to be restrained, their
father would pick them up and rock them crazily back and forth, back
and forth, back and forth. While he rocked them he would sing off key:
I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
as long as I'm living
my baby you'll be.
