Gulp!

One day my granddaughter Emily accidentally swallowed a quarter......This one is for her.....

A quarter in my pocket.
A craving to cool my tongue.
Aha! I'll put it in my mouth,
And spin around, how fun.

Then Papa called the doctor,
And off we went to see,
If someone could pull out that coin,
Cause it was inside of me.

I took a ride in an ambulance,
Papa and Casey followed behind.
Then the doctor took a big long tube,
And down my throat did glide.

Now, I'm home and happy,
The quarter placed in a jar.
Oh, my goodness! What a day,
That quarter sure traveled far.

This is great! Reminds me of my brother who, on a dare, swallowed a playing jack.

Children are our true treasures in life! As you can plainy see... Where would we be without them to add a little sunshine to our days!
(Wonderfully written, Lynn!)

Lynn. You could write children's stories
from these experiences. Nice job.
