Last evening Kylie and I decided to swing while enjoying the peace and quiet of the evening and savoring our cold treats (chocolate pudding for Kylie, layers of vanilla icecream, peanutbutter, and Hershey's syrup for me). Afterwards Kylie shared with me some of the parts of The Complete Tales and Poems of Winnie-the-Pooh that she really liked. Below is one of my favorites...
"I thought," said Piglet earnestly, "that if Eeyore stood at the bottom of the tree, and if Pooh stood on Eeyore's back, and if I stood on Pooh's shoulders----"
"And if Eeyore's back snapped suddenly, then we could all laugh. Ha ha! Amusing in a quiet way," said Eeyore, "but not really helpful."
