them.

off."

that your parents did know Abraham Lincoln.
I may not know time, but I know when all my favorite tv shows
are on.
My friendships can be broken and mended without parental
involvement.
Sometimes, parents have more fun then the kids at parties,
amusement parks and other events.

velcro straps on your shoes?
The best part of birthday parties are the party favors.

Scarves, gloves, hats, and sometimes jackets will get lost at
school.
Fish are friends, but they die too soon.
The telephone is our enemy.

or in the car.
Keys, credit cards, and cell phones like to play hide and seek.
Green colored food is yucky.
Last, but not least, you can never get too many hugs or kisses
throughout the day.
