Used to Be

by capst

I used to be the baby around here. But those were the good old days, and now they're gone.

It all started when Daddy started working late so much. Practically every night.

But then I heard Mommy talkin' on the phone. She was sayin' that Daddy was only 'tendin to work late. Instead of workin' late, she said he was goin' to a fair. I didn't think that was very nice 'cause I like goin' to fairs.

Anyway, pretty soon Aunt Agatha came to visit. She even cooked some neat stuff. She made a special cake but it was so special it was only for Daddy. She called it a unbirthday cake. Funny, huh?

One night they served the cake to Daddy, and then I didn't see him no more. I guess maybe he ran off to the fair. But at the same time, Mommy got this new baby brother for me.

And now I'm not the baby no more.
