G Is For Grouchy

Grouchy is a grubby feeling, with the nasty taste of blah; makes you out of sorts with living, the opposite of hurrah. You don’t like anything you used to really love; instead of giving kisses you would rather pinch or shove. You are bored to tears; your toys - worn out and old; you sit before your breakfast until the eggs are cold. No one can please you, not even mom or dad; and if you are not careful, you’re in your room for being bad! Some people say, “You got up on the wrong side of the bed;” maybe you should get back in, crawl out the other side instead. What makes you feel so out of sorts? You think you just might cry and mommy says she’s sure you ate a slice of gritty grumble pie. We all have days that go kerplunk; we do some things we shouldn’t do, but it will soon get better; pull your feet out of grouch goo. Just put a smile on that sweet face and tell the grump to go away; the sun is up and life is good, get busy, go outside and play! © September 18, 2015 Faye Lanham Gibson
