she clomps across the floor
in her shiny black mary janes
that she calls her tap shoes,
orders me to lie down,
and presses the stethoscope to my breast.
her eyes get that faraway, listening look.
then she turns for the thermometer,
adjusting her firefighter’s hat.

Haa ha ha ha! That’s great!
LOL, too cute!
I love this kid.
ah, the female toddler of the 21st century…so many options open to her, thanks to the feminist heroines that came before her…
Marvelous.
Too cute! Sounds like something my daughter would come up with!!!
Cute, cute! Oh, the choices!
As a career counselor, I can tell you that there is a great need in this world for tap dancing doctor-firefighters. She is definitely pursuing a lucrative path.
I love your poetry and I’m jealous of your kids!
Yes, she is amazing! I suspect she’ll come up with about 200 other career choices before she finally settles on one, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it were to be…a reverand mother.
don’t mean to venture off topic, but what’s the name of the “Daily Show” blog that you read? I want to read what they’re saying about last night’s interview with Bill Kristol.
