Argument

Who knows how it
       starts.
Who cares, really?
But
it begins and
then
it builds, builds, builds
until
somebody gets their feelings.
hurt.
Then it gets
nasty
with personal attacks being made.
Insults hurled forth in a
hateful
manner.  And the child sits
quietly
by.  Listens.  Hears everything.
Wonders
if Mommy and Daddy are going to
realize
what they are doing to the
marriage
and the
child.
