To my Grandchildren
At my house,
I want you to get messy,
to be messy, to mess up.
I want you to paint with
your fingers and your toes,
and I won't even get mad
if you get paint on the table
or the walls.
I want you to play outside
in the mud and
track it through my house,
so we can slip and slide
on giant soapsuds
on giant soapsuds
as we clean it up.
I want you to splash in puddles,
to blow bubbles in your drink
and hang spoons on your nose
just because it's fun.
I want you to remember
that laughing is the
best feeling ever,
especially the laughter
that comes with love.
Is that your house or mine? You are a amazing Grandmom!
