Sticky fingers and a chocolate face br Broken toys and a broken vase br br Cars and trucks here and there br Boats and crayons everywhere br br Bats and balls strewn in the yard br Sweaty face from playing hard br br Broken bones and bloody knees br Stings from ants and wasps and bees br br Feet stomping on the floor br Fingerprints on the sliding door br br A painful cry and a whimpering whine br A mischevious smile that seems to shine br br Face being licked by the dog br Rolling around in the mud like a hog br br Housing reptiles of all shapes and sizes br Always full of odd surprises br br Tracking mud from shoes and clothes br Yet another bloody nose br br Sneaking cookies from the cookie jar br Face streaked black with mud and tar br br Ketchup stains on your new shirt br Brand new shoes covered with dirt br br Sometimes you can be quite a bother br But I love you anyways because you're my little brother br br Rebekah J (age 12) © May 2008br br Rebekah Johbr br
