Can I have 5 minutes of peace?

Mom! Mom! Mom - the favorite word of a child wanting your attention.  Not just a minute of it, but all of your attention.  I remember when the children were younger and wanted their own individual attention.  The youngest was the one that the cord was never cut.  When she was two, I only wanted five minutes of peace, didn't happen.  When she was three, I still wanted five minutes of peace.  Even when I took a bath she was there to keep me company, with plenty of toys in case I wanted to play or got lonesome.  I didn't know what lonesome was, I always had one attached to my hip.  Now, I get to watch my daughter with her little girl.  Mom is her favorite word.  Next comes Grandma then Grandpa.  It is a funny cycle to see.  I still am able to sit back and watch, until they want something.  The words then are Mom - Grandma - yes, they both are calling me....
