Quiet Please!

Dominic is a talker! But this morning he outdid himself. I don't think a moment went by that he wasn't saying something. At lunch I asked him to concentrate on eating instead of talking so much.

"Mom, I've decided not to talk for a little while."

Shrieks of laughter! (Caitlin joined in even though she had no clue why they were laughing.)

"Mom, that was a funny joke, wasn't it?"
