Getting Grubby - a Little Kid Again Contest
The sun was shining brightly
Shall we go to the lake said Mam
I was washed and dressed
Placed in my buggy , all spick and span
Mam dressed my sister
Then herself she had cleansed
Ready for the off now
She looked at me and screamed
Just look at the state of you
You cant go out like that
I had only sat in my buggy
What on earth was the fuss about
My lovely white brocade dress
Was filthy, how was that
I was just sitting in my buggy
Was the pesky dogs fault
Been out in the garden
Digging holes just for the fun
Came in and saw me sitting there
Onto my buggy he had come
My dressed was pulled off me
Face and hands washed once more
Looking clean and happy again
Off to the lakes pebbly shore
This keeps getting retold whenever grubby children are mentioned.
"She could get dirty just sitting in a buggy"
I was aged about 18 months - 2 years
