When I was Little…

By Dallas Griffin

Dedicated to my dad, Andy Griffin

When I was little I cried all the time,

Now I never cry.

When I was little I loved to hear my mom read stories to me,

I still do.

When I was little I used to spill snacks,

Now I eat them.

When I was little I used to put lipstick all over the counter,

Now I clean up.

When I was little I used to climb in my brother’s bed, drink his bottle, and fall asleep,

Now I climb in my own top bunk to sleep.

When I was little I used to play with tools,

Now I use them to fix my bike.

When I was little I was as big as my puzzle,

Now I’m bigger than my puzzle!

When I was little I used to bite every donut,

Now I eat just one.

When I was little I liked to get my hair cut,

Now I don’t like it.

When I was little I liked to relax and read the paper,

Now I like to relax and read the comics.

When I was little I liked to lick the beaters,

Now I like to lick the beaters AND the bowl!

When I was little I used to be nice,

Now I’m mean sometimes.

When I was little I could not go to school,

Now I do.

When I was little mom used to dress us up for family pictures,

She still does.
