Cribtonite

I don’t know if you know or not so I’ll just assume that you don’t. But those boxes of pop up wipe sheets are so cool it’s unbelievable. If you pull one out another sheet pop up right behind it. It’s like the box knows that I’m there waiting for another sheet to pop out. I could sit there all day playing with that box. That is until it gets tired or something. I’ll spend a little time pulling those sheets out when the box just stops for some reason or another. I’ll sit there and wait for a minute or two. But nope, the box isn’t going to give me another sheet.

Well, for some reason, mom doesn’t like me playing with this box. She’ll come into the room and see me with my box on the floor, stomps her feet, and yells Booba! That’s one of my nicknames just in case you couldn’t figure it out. I know it took me a while. She comes in and yells Booba! And then she’ll take the box and the sheets away. But eventually, somehow, the box finds its way back to some place where I can reach it and the pull the sheets out game starts all over again!

That is, until my mom found my weakness. Cribtonite! One day mom started putting the box into my crib and that was all she wrote. I’ll try to reach it. But I can’t get my hands through those wooden bars. I’m sure they emit some kind of crib ray that makes a baby sleepy. I’ll try to get the box for a few seconds. But if I stay too long I’ll start getting sleepy and want to fall asleep. I don’t know how that thing does it to me. One day mom held me up to get the box. I screamed! I know she was trying to put me in that infernal device of sleepiness. But I resisted. I screamed and held on to her. That cribtonite isn’t going to get me without a fight.

Mom laughed. I’m sure that was just to pretend that she wasn’t upset about losing this particular battle. But sometimes, in the middle of the day, that cribtonite is so strong I can’t fight it and I go to sleepy land. She wins those battles. And at night? Cribtonite is cribto-crazy! I can’t stay a wake no matter what I do. I’ll be in the other room and it gets me! One day I’ll figure out how it works and how to overcome it. One day! I’ll keep you posted.
