Jungle Birds

My children are con-artists when it comes to nap-time.
Suddenly, they have to have a snack.
A drink.
Poop. Twice.
Then, JUST WHEN ALL EYELIDS ARE CLOSED...
They cue the wild jungle birds outside.
In Arizona.
The trees are silent until it's nap-time, then spontaneously -
A symphony of wild-bird-mating-calls erupts.
I just might shoot them (the birds, not the children).
Don't turn me in to PETA.
Nap-time is very important.
For the sanity of all mankind.
