Lumpy oatmeal makes me crazy!

Puddle stomping is one of my favorite things
I love break-up and the mud it brings
Dirty tan water splashing high
Here’s a splotch of mud in yer eye!

Splashing and skipping with sheer delight
Puddle hopping into all within my sight
Soaking wet from toes to head
Fingers, cheeks and nose chilled red

...

Mud puddles splashed in by another child
I do not race to do the puddle dance wild
Getting wet is not my thing
Puddle stomping doesn't make my heart sing

...

But, when I am driving around in my car
And I see a puddle (no matter how far)
I can’t help but turn to the left or right
Speeding through puddles within my sight

I now give pedestrians the puddle scare
My car is dirty, but I don’t care
Once again, my heart sings like a child
As I perfect the puddle drive wild.

It's easy to see the giddy child

Thank you all for smiling with me.  I had the most fun that I have had in a long time when I got stuck in my yard the other night.  You would NOT believe how high mud can be flung!  

Love,
Ali

Mud in my eyes?
Ooooooooooooooooooooo Yuk ... I mean, dirty water in my face, my mouth, my hair.
NO thank you! fooey ... ...
But I supposed I liked it when I was Little, the cold slap of water logged branches in my face.

Dear Alison, this was such a funny write and made me realize that I will never feel too old to have this kind of fun ... so when I am the pedestrian I run like hell past the puddles thinking that others might act like me when I am in the car!

Love,
Margherita

while this brought a real smile to my face, I fear I would want to hold on tight if I were to be riding with you
