Goodness, when I first read this title, I thought "My god! She's written a poem about me!!" LOL. I think this is true of any baby in the family. I'm the oldest and my mom didn't think my brother was old enough to lie until he was at least 13. Good job this was entertaining and nostalgic for me.

Oh yeah, they learn to lie about 10 years or more sooner than that! LOL Thanks for a fun review :-) Brooke
Comment from Brandenpaul
I have two daughters that have that same ability! How could you not fall for such a thing. Being a pushover isn't all that bad mom-when they're younger anyway. Now for the poem, brilliant as usual. Enjoyed.

She's such a good girl - and now young woman - it never mattered that I was a pushover :) Thanks, B rooke
Comment from debskatz
Hey Pushover!
Sounds like they still grew up okay. I remember my sister, Tina pulling that crap. Daddy fell for it at first, but he finally realized she was doing purely to get out of being spanked (My daddy was NOT a pushover!), so it finally didn't work for her anymore. Not that she still didn't try it!
Thanks for reminding me of some fun experiences! lol
smiles,
deb

Oh, it didn't matter what I knew rationally - every time her little lip trembles and her eyes well up, I go to mush. :-) Thanks, Brooke
Comment from Amicus
This is a clever,heart-warming, and succinct verbal snapshot of an easily recognizable family dynamic that I'm sure will touch many and readily evoke their own special memories. Isn't it wonderful how much power 5 short lines of well chosen images can have?
Your choice of the cinquain to carry the message here is perfect,
Great job.

Comment from Nicnac
Aww LOL
Little girls have a way of doing that. ;)
This is adorable. It made me smile.
It made me think of once when my daughter said her brother bit her arm. Years later she told me that she had bit herself to get him in trouble. Poor guy; he got in so much trouble. :(
Thanks for sharing, Brooke. Nice pic choice.

Comment from Falafa
Your son has great wisdom, Brooke. How fortunate he carries humor with it. Wonderful job in another poem here. Oh how true that can be with Moms. We're way too nurturing, huh? Great job, again....

Is it possible to be TOO nurturing? :-D Thanks so much, Brooke
Comment from Janelle
LOL! This brought back such memories of my childhood. It was kind of the same but different in house when I was growing up. If my two younger brothers had been naughty and our father was about to punish them, they'd be pleading with me to cry and ask Dad to stop as he could never resist my tears either!
It is a lovely poem with the choice of picture very appropriate as it just adds so much to the story! Well done Brooke, regards, Jan

I wouldn't be surprised it when you thank back, you knew in your heart who the real guilty person was. Avery well written with good imagery and descriptive scheme.
