Daddy and his girlfriend live in a green house near the beach we all live on the second floor where the trees can reach me and my brother got a room with nice new beds and when we wake up in the morning the sun is shining on our heads I drew our house with crayons and it came out really nice my brother said that it was dumb so I smacked him -twice daddy's girlfriend hung it up, 'cause she's nice like that we have a fish named Freddy-Bob but we can't get a cat at the beach with daddy when the sun is high he throws us in the water and we feel like we can fly then we lay down on our towels till we're really, really hot and we walk back home for cookies, 'cause I'm hungry quite a lot in the evening in the kitchen when the sun is low we eat our dinner at the table near the open window we can see the girls play softball in the park across the street and watch them running 'round the bases in their sneakered feet daddy
