Hey Kids, Happy 2016.
Any New Year’s Resolutions??
TT my terrible Talking Tummy and I are discussing overeating. TT is yelling and he ‘s heading for a Meltdown. “I’m a Professional Eater. It’s impossible for me to change.”
” Let’s make a New Year’s resolution about over eating. TT, you can do better. There’s more to life than GOBBLERS and NIBBLERS.“
Now he’s crying. “Please, Stubb, I can’t change. I don’t care about this New Year. I don’t want to be better. I’m already better. I’m your DELIGHTFUL TERRIFIC tummy”
“TT, just a small change in 2016 would help us keep our resolution. Remember, you’ve been known to bloat up and drag on the ground.TT, your dragging tires me out.”
“Also, I hate getting stuck in tight places. Remember, the Colosseum in Rome? We were stuck between the bars of the gate.”
“Stubb, I’ll never forget it. We were trapped and the mean cats of the Colosseum almost scratched your eyes out! POOR LITTLE ME, those rotten cats tried to scratch me.”
“Okay, what about cutting back on all the nibblers?”
“I’ll try to give up the nibblers, but I love the way we accidentally find treats. I can’t give up shadowing those sweet seniors. They’re a sure thing!! A purse full of breath mints or peppermint candies . . . Eating has always been my goal each day. I’m busy and happy with food.”
“Let’s have another resolution. What about read and enjoy a new book. Try to read a book each month.”
“HELP!! What for??? Convince Me.”
“Have you heard about DUMB??”
“No one likes DUMB. I don’t ever want to be that. Yuck! DUMB.”
“Reading gives you something to talk and think about. A good book is fun. We can nibble while we’re reading. Then you’ll NEVER BE DUMMY.”
“I guess we could go to the library. There’s lots of books. . . NO FOOD.“
“TT, the library has books on everything. Even books on food!
“Okay, Stubb. A new year and a new me. . . or a new us.”
“We’ll start reading Giggle and Go with Stubb to Italy. Kids check the website stubbsworld.net.”
Happy New Year.
Stubb and TT
