Dragoncrest Cliffs The bottle stench may be here to stay

She'd not considered how much stress an apology might lift; but she felt herself settle against her mother when they had both forgiven each other, and heave a sigh that rid her aching chest of the hard lump of resentment she'd been harboring. She would try to remember this, and to learn that with the use of language she would also have to learn discipline, and how to speak without creating unnecessary tension. She had much to learn from both of her mothers, it seemed- but she had full faith that they could teach her what she needed to know. 

So when she was asked to teach her mother the song again, she pulled back and smiled. There were tears in her eyes, but happy ones. "It is a funny song," She sang, "But I will teach it to you...And then tell you what de words mean," She said. So she began, line by line, to go through the lyrics and melody with her mother- and giggled afterwards when she explained the silly story about Lalo and Lalo's child-eating habits.
