What Fun!!

What Fun!

        Now here is a sight to make an old woman's heart sing,

out of tune perhaps,

 but nevertheless......

An almost four-year-old

 with brand new orange sneakers

on a brilliant October day,

What fun!

'Lets go to the park,' says Orange Sneakers

'I want to be a leaf-blower 

and clean up all the leaves!'

 Off they go to the park,

 to hunt for monsters

build a campfire in the  playground,

boil some leaves for tea

and best of all 

 pretend to be really, really, really big leaf-blowers!

How great is that,

to be almost four
 AND be a really, really, really big  leaf-blower
 in October,

in a park full of deciduous trees?

When the shadows grow long, 
the leaf-blower and his grandparents 
head for home,and on the way,

Orange Sneakers  informs his audience  

'I came out of Mommy's belly,'

Hm......

'Whose belly did you come out of?'

he asks,

 'I came out of GG's belly',

his grandmother says.

'Oh.'
  

Then a siren sounds  on the street
and a hook and ladder goes by,

 and little Orange Sneakers

dashes off to put out a fire.

At home,

 sneakers come off with a flourish

       and grandson becomes...........

SUPER PIIIIIIIIIIG

leaping over sofa cushions, er...

tall  apartment buildings,
 driving 'vehicles' to Paris, France

and making up rules for unsuspecting grandparents,

'Everyone HAS to take their shoes off  in the house.'

'I don't HAVE to eat Brussel sprouts'

'I AM allowed to climb up to the top of the sofa'

'I don't NEED a shampoo tonight.'

'Oh really,' says grandmother,

'Is that so,' says grandfather.

When it is time to leave,

 Super Pig morphs into  grandson

and offers  hugs and kisses

to grandmother
 and grandfather too.

'Can we go to the park when you come again?'

'Yes, we can!'
