  1. Little Jack Horner!! Stuck in his thumb and pulled out a WHAT???? I can't tell what is on it. It looks like a raspberry. LOL Thanks for the post. I sure do miss him.

  2. Well, Grandma DD beat me again by about 30 minutes and she is right with her guess. The kindergarten teachers read nursery rhymes to their students the first 20 minutes of school every morning since they cannot read themselves yet. Later in the year, some of them learn to read by themsleves. Grandpa Coach

  3. The correct answer is "Little Stinker Owen":

    Little stinker Owen
    has raspberries on his thumbs
    chocolate on his face
    and candy on his bum

    Take off his shoes
    You'll notice red strawberry toes
    Tasty blueberry elbows
    And a Boysenberry nose

    But Momma shouldn't worry
    Go ahead and laugh
    Just toss him right in the tub
    Because Owen loves his bath

    Look out for tomorrow
    What will Owen get in then?
    Lemon pies or Reese's Cups?
    He'll look just like Pig Pen

    His jumps, dances, and his hops
    Could be the cutest things
    It probably won't be too long
    Until the Little Stinker sings

    Thanks for the entertainment
    It's really been a blast
    Let's see the Little Stinker
    Before too much time has past

  5. Way to go Joe! Owen is already in bed for the night, but I'll read it to him tomorrow.
