Child's Play

( Child's aspiration)
Mummy if l become a teenager
I will cook good food for you
Of course Ada I know you will
But mummy
Can I still sleep with you
No Ada
Okay when I get married mum
I will make you stay with my
Family
Yes Ada
For then I will become old
And my children will call you
Grand ma
Then I will tell them
The grey hair stories
Of a grand mother about
The snake and the tortoise
By moonlight
