Were seated at the table, all is quiet as we still wait for one to sit.
You eat your food; what little there is.
You stand to leave, emptying the rest into the bin.

A question is asked, and an argument erupts.
He stands, and you get intimidated— shoving him away you attempt a hasty retreat.
She hops down from her perch, asking you to stop pushing.

Neither of you realize she's right below you.

I scoop her up into my arms and calmly leave— as to not frighten her even more.

I walk into the room, her in my arms and the youngest before me. I don't want her to hear you, so I turn on the radio:

Hakuna Mata
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Mata
Ain't no passin' craze

It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Mata
