Dr. Seuss
by carolynholm
Dear Mommy,
Who is Dr. Seuss?
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
He was a much-loved children’s book writer and illustrator. Why do you ask?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Because you said I had ears designed by Dr. Seuss.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Oh. I did say that, didn’t I?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
What did you mean? And why were you laughing when you said that?
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Because your magnificent ears have a certain look to them. Oh I might as well be honest, his drawings are amusing and your ears look like something he’d come up with.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Am I amusing?
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
You are. And that’s a good thing! You are amusing and lovable.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Puffin says you laugh at me because you don’t respect me.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
How many times do I have to remind you not to listen to the cats! Especially Puffin.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
But is it true?
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Of course it’s not true. He’s a trouble-maker. Don’t pay any attention to what he says.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
He says all kinds of terrible things. And sometimes he makes me nervous when he ambushes me in the hall.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Ignore him, honey. He just does those things to throw his weight around.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
So are my Dr. Seuss ears a good kind of amusing?
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Yes they are. The cats are probably jealous.
Love, Carolyn
