Dragon Egg
At bedtime Lex is a baby dragon. He curls up in brown blanket, and calls “Caw! Caw!” for mommy dragon to come.
I say “Oh my, what’s in this egg? Is it a chicken egg? Is it a turtle egg? Is it a platypus egg?”
“Caw! Caw!” says the egg.
“It’s not a chicken… Or a turtle… Or a platypus… It’s a BABY DRAGON! And it it hatching right NOW!”
Baby dragon hatches. “Caw! Caw! Noo Noos!”
Sweet baby dragon loves his momma. He curls up to my left side, and we snuggle together under brown blanket. After awhile he relaxes, all limp and twitchy. And then, tenses with effort, stretches, rolls away from me. Moving off to the land of his big-boy dreams.
