The Mud Puddle Dance

Tap. Tap. Tap. My shoes start clicking In a mud puddle, at first only the edge. Stamp. Stamp. Stamp. My lacy white Sunday school socks are getting all spotted now. With pure mud puddle glee. Jump. Jump. Jump. My legs have splashes of water up to my knees. What a wonderful day to accidentally find a mud puddle!

The innocence of childhood. The sparkling eyes and mischief of mommy’s little mud dancer :)

Oh, I do remember BEING that little mud dancer. Nothing like it! Watching your lacy white socks get splatters and turning more gray by the second. Knowing the spanking will be worth it!

We will always remain children at heart - hope you enjoyed every moment in your mud puddle! Hugs, Jennifer

I have to admit I wish I did not have a bum knee. I love mud puddle splashing!

G'day Caren … what is it with kids and water and then mud. We've all got into strife highlighted by your verse - thanks Caren - Lindsay

Thank you for calling me a kid. I am 67 and you are not wrong.

Thank you Richard. I am still there, jumping and squealing.
