Excerpt from: Sometimes It's Grandmas and Grandpas Sometimes Buddy is with us and were on the big bed--Nonnie and Poppy's bed talking puppy-talk and rubbing puppy ears, telling stories and reading stories turning pages and Nonnie says "I wonder what happens next." Sometimes its cuz theres a Daddy in the story we're reading and he's twirling and spinning his baby girl and their mouths are wide open laughing. And I wonder if my Daddy and I will ever do that. And on the next page there's a Mommy and it's nighttime and there are stars up in the sky and a skinny piece of moon. And the Mommy is tucking her big girl in her big-girl bed, all pink and purple and I wonder why my Mommy doesn't do that.
