Smoke Out Of Dinosaur’s Mouth

Puff! Puff!
Smoke puffs out of a dinosaur toy.
Oh, it will need water
Or else
It will be on fire.

Run
RUN
RUN to bathroom.
WATER.
Water, water.
Bucket under the tap water
Open the tap water
Then closes it.

Run
RUN
RUN to smoky dinosaur toy.
Pour
POUR
POUR the pail of water onto
The smoky dinosaur toy.
SPLASH!

It will be well now.
Place it onto the floor.
Press its button.
OH! It doesn’t operate anymore.
It doesn’t operate anymore.
It doesn’t operate . . .
It doesn’t . . .
It . . .
. . .

My mother in law shared about my husband’s eldest brother when he was young. The above poetry is an inspiration from the actions his eldest brother did to his own toy. In addition, I put myself in his point of view in order to understand him as a toddler. Most of the time, different toddlers are unique and distinct. And most are being misunderstood by the adults and label them who are the naughtiest. Now, my brother in law is an electrician and he can repair any household things.

有恐龙 you kong long

哇!哇!
有恐龙,啊!
怕怕
哇!哇!
有恐龙,啊!
有恐龙,啊!
怕怕
怕怕

阿妈,换衣服
阿公,换衣服
姨妈,换衣服
Charlene 姐姐,换衣服
Etri 换衣服
去打恐龙
出去
去打恐龙。

Upon reaching home around 11:30pm for watching a free admission theatre play, my helper informed me about my toddler talking and composing stories about the dinosaur that he was scared when his dad brought him out and saw it. As I was drying my hair, my mum repeats the words my toddler had spoken “有恐龙,有恐龙.怕怕,怕怕. 阿妈换衣服 打恐龙, 还有 阿公, 姨妈,Charlene 姐姐, Etri 出去 打恐龙.” It sounds like a poem to me by just revising it.
