Soliloquy

"Stay safe. Did you pack enough kunai? Paper bombs? Who did you say was going on this mission with you? What do you mean Asuma-sensei won't be there? Who do I need to speak to about this? What about Ino? What? Ino's NOT going? Only Chouji? Why not? Who else did you say? Kiba Inuzuka? Okay, he's a good boy. Who else? Hyuuga? Neji? Well, okay, I suppose that will be alright. Does Tsunade-sama know that boy has some anger management issues? Maybe I should tell her. What do you think Shikaku?"

Shikamaru groaned at his mother's soliloquy.

Shikaku just smiled.

A/N: As a mom, I just have to say that this is my favorite one :-)
