"Shhhh," I said. The talking continued.
"Shhhh," I said again. Tim's voice carried up the stairs. The girls laughter reverberated across the room.
"Please guys! SHHHH!"
And then I realized it. I have become my mother. She constantly shushes people from talking too loud. She shushes people when they guffaw. She shushes my dad on the phone. It isn't a bad or rude shushing; I think she just prefers the quiet. Much like myself. And if she is anything like me, and I suspect she is, if the outside environment is relatively peaceful and quiet, then the internal environment follows that peace and quiet to a place of serenity.
But ugh. Becoming my mother already? Aren't I too young for that?
Sorry mom.
