Alyssa listened to her parents fight without a hint of remorse. She was four years old and even though she couldn't speak, she knew what went on between them alot; even more than they thought. It seemed today, however that they were fighting about something more than just money, their future, and relatives. They were talking about splitting up for a while.
"But Dannnnnnnnnnnn," her mother whined.
"She's four years old, you would think that she'd be saying stuff by now," Dan argued.
"The doctor said-"
"I don't care what the doctor said Lisa, she isn't talking despite everyone saying it is a faze," Dan continued obvious to his wife's distress.
She didn't care about her parents fighting because they always did that. She really didn't notice anymore either though and she never thought about it. It was just one of the things that happened daily. Alyssa just put another piece of steak in her mouth. Her parents didn't notice her gagging until she let out a piercing scream and it wasn't just a scream but also a wail.
