Because you don’t want to clean your teeth.

Because you don’t want to stop cleaning your teeth.

Because Mummy won’t let you eat toothpaste for breakfast.

Because you are bored of the whole tooth brushing debacle. (That one was mine)

Because you are not allowed to eat the hairbrush.

Because you want your shoes put on.

Because you want your shoes taken off.

Because shoes exist.

Because Mummy banged her head against the wall.

Because you are not allowed to fall off the back of the sofa.

Because you are not a duck.

Because the duck you chased flew away.

Because the duck looked at you in a funny way.

Because you are small, and the world is a big and baffling place,

Thank goodness the smiles still far outweigh the tears,

Love Miss Mummy Cisco XXX
