Stop Taunting Me

Crichton came home teasing me:

Brandy and Gregory, sitting in a tree,

K-I-S-S-I-N-G

First comes love,

Then comes marriage,

Then comes a baby in a baby carriage.

But that's not all, that's not all,

I see the baby playing basketball.

But that's not all, that's not all,

I see the baby peeing in the hall.

But that's not all, that's not all,

I see the baby drinking alcohol.


He said he made up the "But that's not all, that's not all," parts. Is that possible? Can a 6 year old make ball, hall, and alcohol rhyme? *quick checking of facts* There we go, he got it from Ranell ...

Crichton's been walking a little girl (Annie) home from school every day. I think it's puppy love, but he's like his dad, not all poetry, flowers, and romance. Just useful. Help get you where you gotta go.

I hated Greg in high school - one night, I needed a ride home from a choir concert where Greg kind of sort of rocked ("I have often walked/ Down this street before...") - he was my only ride prospect ... I asked for the ride and that was the can of worms.

But, back in college - out in Iowa, one guy took me to a dance, some guy brought me a rose with an edited uncredited Shakespearean sonnet ... the attention was good, but Greg ... yeah, really glad, 10 years later, he has patience and tenacity. Beats the pants off flowers and dancing every night (almost every night).
