What Happened

Little children don't understand What has happened you see. All of a sudden they're an outcast it seems in their own Family. They're no longer held, cuddled, talked baby to so They're confused as to how things changed over night To throw them in to this awful strange land. Then they are showed a little person who looks like one Of their dolls except this one moves, crys, and gets all Of Mother's attention first hand. This child thinks what about me? Little children don't understand What has happened you see. The angel you left behind before you went in to the Hospital has on your return become a cranky, crying, Obnoxious, jealous, and feeling usurped but can't explain why they have lost the upper hand. All of a sudden they're thrown into a new category, your A big girl, you can walk, please use your words to Communicate, and you get to use the big potty to this Child it's a catastrophe Until big brother says it's okay. I felt the same way when You came along honey bee. It's how we become a family. It's all grand. Little children don't understand What has happened you see.
