"Seaven come here!" I hang up the phone, shouting.
I hear her little feet running towards me. I spin on the chair to look at her.
"Yuh like when mi talk don't" I point a finger at her.
She shook her head no and I outstretch my hand out to her.
She place her tablet in my palm and I place it on the island Infront of me.
"Wah mi tell yuh bout yuh mouth" I ask her.
"You said I should be mindful of how I speak to others" She rocks from side to side playing with her fingers.
"Okay and what else" I tilt her chin up to look at me.
"And that they have feelings too" She said looking into my eyes.
She likkle bit and dry eye essi.
"Okay so why is your teacher calling me saying that you told her that her mouth is stank" I pull her closer to me because she was taking slow steps back.
"Because she was talking in my face and her breath was stank so I told her" She tells me still rocking from side to side.
I let out a laugh "Don't let it happen again and because I'm laughing don't means it's funny okay".
"Okay mommy" She replied ready to walk off.
"Here" I outstretched her tablet out to her.
"Thank you" She runs off in the direction of the living room where her brother was sleeping.
Mi grow mi pickney dem fi no tell lie so mi nah go punish dem fi tell eh truth.
Just then my phone began ringing and I answer it.
"Yah fish" I pose a question smiling "Why yuh haffi call pon video call".
"Cause mi wah see yuh"
"Come off a mi phone" I laugh. I look up at the clock to see the time.
1:34? Mi need fi look after the kids dem lunch.
I get up from the chair and walk over to the stove with my phone in my hand.
