I'm Sure You Must Be Weary, Dear
This is a speech I received from a three-year-old last night. I usually end up spending the night when I baby-sit him, especially if his folks are coming home late, since I live pretty far away.
So where are you going to be in the morning, Jamie? Because, see, we have four beds and one of them is just for Guests and it's in Grandmamma's Room, but grandmomma's not here right now so you can have that one, ok? It's just down the hall; you just need to go straight ahead. It's ok, you won't get lost - just remember, go straight ahead.
And don't worry, Jamie, we'll have a little bit of time to play in the morning before you have to go home. It will be all right. We'll eat breakfast and we'll play, ok?

Oo that was really priceless! I love the things children say. :)
awesome! like your style. if you like lamott and miller, you should check out the poetry of rainer maria rilke and mary oliver and of course luci shaw. they do in poems what lamott does in personal narrative. beautiful, raw, honest, and full of workaday hope.
