A bottle hits the wall

And a hundred tiny pieces

Fall to the hardwood floor

A small red-headed boy

Runs into the room

Get away from my Mommy!!!

No One is mean to my Mommy!!

He shouts at his father

His mothers blonde hair

Is pushed aside

By well polished fingers

And tears build up

In the corner of her eyes

Commercials come back on,

So I go to the kitchen

To put my cookie-dough away
