Be careful Millie, you’re kicking my phone. Oh, I’ve got a call, hold on tight while I answer it. Careful now … oh, I’ve missed it. Steady Billie, you’ll knock my ear bud out. Millie, hold on to my arm while I check how my game’s going. Billie, don’t be silly, I need to concentrate on my next move. Millie, stop shouting I can’t hear what’s going on. Billie, climb down, I’ve only got two hands you can’t expect me to cling on to both of you and my phone. Millie, stop wriggling, I’m trying to find a song I like. Oh, here’s a new message coming in. Billie, stop kicking me, I need to read it. Millie, behave yourself, I have to reply.
Why don’t you two go and play on the swings and leave me and my phone in peace? That’s better. Who invented kids?

Thanks to Sadje for hosting What Do You See?
Wow! Good job picking up on that detail, Keith! 😀

Thanks so much, David!
Oops! He doesn’t send too keen on the kids. Thanks Keith for joining in with this very realistic story.
Thanks, Sadje. Phone first, kids second – something I see too often in this digital age.
I’ve seen that too. We forget to be present in the moment
Might be a good idea to put said kids down in order to use his phone! This was a fun read, Keith.
I don’t think they’d stay put for long, I think he should put his phone down!
I think so, too. 🙂
My son needs to put his phone down. Always in his hand. Even my grandson complains that Dad is always on his phone.
…but does he listen? I suspect not! Cheers, Denise.
Good observation Keith!
Thanks, Di!
Haha! Very true juggling kids and a phone! Priorities, right Keith?
Sometimes parents get the priorities wrong!
Well done Keith. A great and delightful take on the prompt. So fun to read. I can see them romping around through your words!
I’m pleased you enjoyed it, Suzette, thank you!
love the fun in this!
Thanks, Beth!
Kids are such fun, at least a lot of the time.
They have their ups and downs – literally in this case!
Good story for the photo. I didn’t notice the phone. You have a good eye for detail!
I surprised myself! Thanks, Patricia.
Haha! But who’s the distraction, the phone or the kids?! Hmmm.
Too often I see parents who seem more interested in their phones than their kids!
Nice take, Keith. No one knows who invented kids. They came out of nowhere 😁
Who indeed!! 😂
