Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
Frustrating at times, but few shows are better than watching

Baby Jena Has Some Questions

by Reese Turner

I wish I knew how I got here
Mom says “from Heaven."
Dad says, “That’s right dear.”
 
I wish I knew what a brother is
They say he’s mine but when
I touch a toy he says that’s his!
 
I wish I knew about this thing;
It has four legs and licks my face
And when dad says “fetch” it'll bring.
 
I wish I knew what is that screen
That makes my dad jump and shout
“Worst football I have ever seen!”
 
I wish I knew why my mom crys
When its me who falls and hurts
Putting hot tears in my own eyes.
 
I wish I knew why it gets so dark, then,
I wake up from a little nap and
Suddenly, magic, its light again!
 
I wish I knew why mom gets so upset
When I put all I find into my mouth.
She says, “don’t do that”, but I forget…
 
I wish I knew what is the deal
When they change my diapers
Sometimes shouting, “Is this for real?”
 
Oh, the mysteries of my life in this
Place - will I ever understand it all?
Meanwhile, how ‘bout another kiss!
