When my sons were teenagers I would not sleep until I heard the sound of their car motor and the sound of the key in the door. Music to my ears. Home safe and then I could sleep.
The absence of sound right after I *think* I heard my baby wake up. Something internal just knows and I can pretty much just count down to the first wail.
The crunch of leaves underfoot, and wind whistling through pine needles.
About Six-Word Questions
SMITH Magazine brings you an entirely new kind of six-word experience: Six-Word Questions. This is the place to pose a question to the SMITH community from, "What are your favorite Six-Word quotations" to challenging members to pen Six-Word Obituaries to the recently departed to Six-Word jokes and any other Six-Word question you can dream up. You can even request that the responses be in six words. Everyone has a question—what's yours?
