Bedtime Stories

A few weeks ago, I bought a book for Bailey that I remember from my childhood, Where The Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein. I wasn't too sure if he was ready for it or not but he has been asking to read it several nights in a row as a bedtime story. The book contains lots of poems and drawings. Here is Bailey's current favorite.

Hat

Teddy said it was a hat,

So I put it on.

Now Dad is saying

"Where the heck's

the toilet plunger gone?"

And this is Mom's current favorite

Colors

My skin is kind of sort of brownish

Pinkish yellowish white.

My eyes are greyish blueish green.

But I'm told they look orange in the night.

My hair is reddish blondish brown,

But it is silver when it's wet.

And all the colors I am inside

Have not been invented yet.
