BLOOPER THURSDAY

Eve enjoys pouring water into her sippy cup and closing the lid herself. So today when she asked to do it, I encouraged her to try on her own again. I'm not sure what happened but she ended up exploding the water on her face, down her dress, and onto the floor. She startled herself and began to cry, and went to run to me, and slipped and fell. I immediately picked her up and just as I did, Talon came running into the room to see why Eve was crying and fell right onto his tush as well. Eve feeling better, Talon and me all got a huge laugh at the scene! Eve did get more water and successfully got her sippy cup.

DISCLAIMER: There were no children harmed in the making of this blooper!

POETRY IN MOTION

"A Dream Deferred" by Langston Hughes
 
 
What happens to a dream deferred?


Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?


Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.


Or does it explode?
