Lucia's work poem. Genius.

Oh come ON!

Let's get to it

Let's do our work

Together you say

Let's get some work done

Come on! Don't be shy

Put that there, put this here

Let's be an engineer

Here, let's be like there

We're like engineers

odd things

ODD THINGS

Sofia: A swan of polkadots

Lucia: A swan everybody is poking

Sofia: A red polar bear

Lucia: A red-brown polar bear

Sofia: Pink eyeballs

Lucia: Purple with red polkadot eyeballs

Sofia: A rain cloud that's green

Lucia: A rain cloud that's shaped like a car-bus

Sofia: A rubber ducky costume

Lucia: I'm combing your hair right now for reals right now

Adam: A hairbrush of lightning

Sofia: Frankenstein with a red dress

Adam: The bride of Frankenstein in overalls

Lucia: I'm combing your hair with an octopus comb that has 79 legs

Sofia: Hello Kitty's bottom of papier mache. Then we'll spank her and make her a pinata.

Lucia: I'm combing yours hair with the American Girl Doll brush.

Adam: A head of steam

Sofia: A polkadotted baby tongue

-- 

it was a dream come true

I had just written "It was like a dream come true" to my fellow collaborators of Kith&Kin and my 6 year old daughter Sofia, who was reading over my shoulderl, said, "You should take out the "like." 

Such a smart girl. 

Penguin

Sofia dreamed last night that she went to Antarctica and met a magical penguin. An evil fairy had turned the entire world white, and so together Sofia and the penguin painted it all back to look the way it did before.

Tonight's collaborative poem

Sofia: The meteor shower comes from the direction of the sleeping donkey which is north

Lucia: The sleeping donkey you can't really see but once you see it you follow that song and you will see the meteor shower

Sofia: The meteor shower is bright and wide but there's only a ride one time a year

Lucia: But after the sleeping donkey show which is the meteor shower there's the sleeping cat star to the south and if you follow that you might find something very special which is what? You look up at the stars and you say something that you want and it will come to life and it will do whatever you want it to do.

Sofia: The desire of the balcony which means the start shooting star that's what you will see you tonight and that's what you really are 

Lucia: Shooting star of the balcony, but you might find something even specialer. I want something so special to me. What I want is a hello Kitty microphone, it's so special to me.

Sofia: It may not be the most special but it can be the best it might be the one that is inside your sparkly dress.

I like the collaboration, but just Sofia's by itself makes for quite the poem:

Constellations

The meteor shower comes from the direction of the sleeping donkey which is north

The meteor shower is bright and wide but there's only one ride a year

The desire of the balcony which means the shooting star, that's what you will see you tonight and that's what you really are 

It may not be the most special, but it can be the best 

It might be the one that is inside your sparkly dress
