Big Now

"Don't you spin your little head about it."
"But mama look at my face;
it's big now mama"

"Now don't be crying about it, Senny.
"But Papa I can't sleep.
What if I don't get better?"

"Why you shaking' honey?
It'll only take a sec;
a couple of molars."

"You'll be fine in a couple of days."
"But mama look at my face;
its so big now"
