by carolynholm

Hey Mom,
Sing my song again!!!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
Your song?
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
The song you sing that is all about ME!!!!! 
Winston

Dear Winston,
Ah, the crazy boy song from West Side Story. It IS about you!
Love, Carolyn

Mom, 
I love it when you sing it.
Winston

Dear Winston,
I like it too. The words are perfect for you.
           Hey boy, crazy boy!
            Get cool boy!
            Got a rocket 
            In your pocket
            Keep coolly cool, boy!

You do your zoomies with a rocket in your pocket!
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
I have a question, though.
Winston

Dear Winston,
Ok, shoot.
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
Don’t say shoot! That’s scary!
Winston

Dear Winston,
I’m sorry, I didn’t think of that. So, what’s your question?
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
The song goes on to say
            Don’t get hot
            ‘Cause man, you got
            Some high time ahead

What are high times? Does that mean I’ll be climbing?
Winston

Dear Winston,
Who knows! Maybe! You’re a cat, and cats climb like ninjas.
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
But why does the song talk about dying? 
Winston

Dear Winston,
Oh dear, you mean when it goes
            Take it slow
            And Daddy-o
            You can live it up 
            And die in bed.
Don’t worry about that. It just means you will live a very long life.
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
I like the rocket in the pocket part better.
Winston
