Overheard in the Hallway

Irish Woman and I are discussing family.

Irish Woman – You know the best part about having kids?  You get to enjoy all the things you didn’t have a chance to enjoy growing up.

Me – But when do I get to enjoy silence and being left alone? (I was the oldest of five.  Privacy and solitude were a rare luxury)

Irish Woman – You aren’t going to get to enjoy silence until you hear dirt dropping on top of your box.

Me, trying to be morbid – So, that’s what, Thursday?

Irish Woman – No, not Thursday, because I need to get the new couch home.  Friday might be better.
