ode to Dr. Seuss

I don't want shower! I heard her say, as she yelled across the room

But you just came from school and you're wet as a pool - don't worry, you'll be done, then- Boom!

No BOOM, mommy! I don't like Boom! - then came the explosion of tears

Come on, please NBear? You have to get clean! When was WATER ever one of your fears?

I struggled to remove her sticky striped blouse, which caught on her face as I tugged

The water was running, the crying kept going, so I looked at her and just simply....hugged. :)
