CHRONIC TARDINESS
by Mary Sullivan
I marked upon my calendar
with smug efficiency,
the time to go and see the doc
so he could study me.
I knew I’d be expected at
Two-Thirty on the dot.
Precisely at Two-Thirty-Three

Really listen to your child. This is so important. I remember one time when Zach was about five, and he came up to me while I was reading and said, "Daddy?" I said, "What?" He said, "Daddy?" I said, "What?" He said again, "Daddy?" Finally I put down my book in exasperation and said, "What, Zach? I
