Early this morning, I spilled my milk. <br />It dripped on the kitchen floor, <br />and when I tried to wipe it up, <br />I slipped and I spilled some more! <br /> <br />Then the cereal box tumbled down <br />and Cheerios went everywhere. <br />Little O’s in the milk on the floor. <br />Little O’s stuck in my hair. <br /> <br />Oh geez, I thought, what a big mess... <br />Daddy and Mommy will be so mad! <br />Oops … I slipped and I fell in it, too, <br />and then I felt really bad. <br /> <br />Then Mommy and Daddy came in, <br />but they were laughing at my mess! <br />They said I looked really funny <br />sitting IN my own breakfast.<br /><br />C.J.
