Mother's Day Musicians

 Dexter was excited to meet Tim, "the drummer", chatting him up while he unloaded his drums. Despite being prepped about being quiet in church, Dexter couldn't contain himself.  After each musical interlude, Dexter shout-whispered, "Is Daddy done yet?" Twice I had to run up the aisle to bring him back to his seat in the back, a move that was greeted with resistance and fussing. I could see the worried look on Ben's face every time the minister said, "Let us pray in silence." Eventually I lured Dexter out of the service at communion with a box of yogurt-covered raisins given to me by a sympathetic parishioner.
