Who's Been Eating My Porridge?
Goldilocks and the Three Bears revisited…
Baby Bear
goes downstairs and sits in his small chair at the table. He looks into his
small, empty bowl.
“Who's been
eating my porridge?” he
squeaks.
Papa Bear arrives at the big table and sits in his big chair. He looks into his
big bowl, and it is also empty.
“Who's been
eating my Porridge?” he roars.
Momma Bear puts her head through the serving hatch from the kitchen and yells,
“For Pete's
sake, how many times do we have to go through this?”
“It was
Momma Bear who got up first, it was Momma Bear who woke everyone in the house,
it was Momma Bear who made the coffee, it was Momma Bear who unloaded the
dishwasher from last night, and put everything away, it was Momma Bear who went
out in the cold early morning air to fetch the newspaper, it was Momma Bear who
set the table, it was Momma Bear who put the cat out, cleaned the litter box,
and filled the cat's water and food dish, and, now that you've decided to drag
your sorry bear-butts downstairs, and grace Momma Bear's kitchen with your
grumpy presence, listen good, cause I'm only going to say this one more time...”
“I haven’t
made the porridge yet!”
