I Guess I Was Sick

When young to keep my illness at bay 
I had to eat some dirt everyday
It sure tasted bad
But I was real glad
My older brother told me the way!

So cute, Pat - but I sure hope that older brother eventually toned down his sense of humor. You sure took it well. LOL

G'day Pat … we learn well from older siblings so we can pass it onto our younger ones - a nice little chuckle here - Lindsay
