SOLSC 21 of 31 - My Silly Dad



Join me this month as I write a slice of my life each day this March and join many others sharing slices at twowritingteachers.com.  My students will also be slicing this month and you can find links to their daily blogs HERE.  



My Silly Dad!

I remember being little
Could not crawl
Your smile hung over me
While I was small.
It disappeared 
Behind hands?
I had no clue.
Laughter erupted!
Peek-a-Boo!

When I'm tired
Grumpy or sad
You make me laugh,
My silly dad

Then the tickle monster
Came to town
"Massaging" my armpits
Whenever I frowned.
I'd laugh and squirm
And wriggle away
Peals of laughter
Made my day.


When I'm tired
Grumpy or sad
You make me laugh,
My silly dad

Now I'm older,
Three-and-a-half
When I'm angry, crying 
....Or bad.
It's much harder 
To make me laugh.

Go ahead and try it!
I'll scream, 
And yell, 
And fall apart..
Until you make
My stuffed animals
FART!?!


When I'm tired
Grumpy or sad
You make me laugh,
My
      Silly
               Dad
