The Halt

My parents' loud shenanigans didn't commence today.

What a relief.

My request to Mother was heard loud and clear.

However, it was only because Father wasn't there, so it's not guaranteed yet if they'll stop. Before sundown, Father was supposed to bring back the caught locusts from our farm to our home, so that we can eat them. My mother and I weren't too worried about his absence, and we thought that he decided to be with his friends that day. Not very unusual. We ended up having a cabbage soup to which I happily devoured.

I'll finally be going to the woods.
