Looks like a crime scene.

Kick, hit, pinch, throw, scream.
The youngest of five is tough.
Maybe he’s just mean.

Snuggle, kiss and hug.
Sweet smiles and contagious laughs.
Must be bipolar.

Will not wear diaper.
Refuses to keep clothes on,
but loves wearing shoes.

Drip, drop, sniff, wipe and blow it.
It must be Doug’s fault.

Wire, tape and plastic
Thumbs hurt worse than paper cuts
Evil toy package

Lots of instructions
All languages but English
They really don’t help

Knee socks are happy.
Warm, soft, silly, toe to knee.
Childhood on my feet.

My server hates me.
They say I need a new one.

Sunbeam on the floor
Tempting promise of warm sleep
Molly got there first.
