The Sneeze that Ended the Silence

Last night I got home from walking our dogs.  It was almost dark out.  Dave was gone.  Both boys were in their rooms with their doors shut.  It was peaceful bliss as I tip-toed around, wanting to keep the silence I so cherished around as long as possible.

I quietly got some water.  I quietly sat at my computer.  I quietly pulled out my work.  I silently began typing.

...and then I sneezed.  "Aaaaachooo!"

Now, I know I'm a girl and all, but I seriously man up when it comes to sneezes.

And I kid you not, within seconds of sneezing, both of my guys came bursting out of their rooms.


Little guy:  "That sounded like food."

Big guy:  "You're home, can I have something to eat?"

Me:  "Grrrrrr...allergies."
