Blink. Things Change In An Instant.

Mom!!

No, I'm not going let you.

MOM!!

No, honey. I want you to rest. It's been a long day and you are exhausted. I'm exhausted. We need to relax.

I don't ​want to relax. I want to play!

​Sorry, dude. Mom's rule. Rest then you can play.

I hate you...

Really? OK, I know you don't mean....

Suddenly, I see an accident on other side of freeway. The truck that looks just like ours is crushed. Totaled. Upside down and completely destroyed. A big rig is next to it. While watching the wreckage, I swerve into the left side lane, barely missing a motorcycle.

I gasp.

I regain my composure. My baby girl hasn't woken up. I look at my son. 

Honey, you can do what you want but I say for how long. Understood?

Yes, mom.

No arguments?

No.

Alright then.

Mom?

Yes?

You OK?

I am now. Life's too short. I'm OK now.

Are some battles not worth it?
