the night max wore his wolf suit and made mischief of one kind and another
the boy i work with was sick today, and tired.
i plopped him down on a cot, shared a snack,
and read where the wild things are with him.
he loves it, because it shows max being bad
and standing on books. also, he gets to yell
"BE STILL" and "let the wild rumpus start!"
i love it because it is, bar none, the best
children's picture book ever written.
also, i get to yell "BE STILL" and
"let the wild rumpus start!"
what a priviledge it is
to have a drowsy kid
snuggled into my shoulder,
to be given the chance to
create anew with him
the timeless and cozy ritual
of a book before bed.
