Jumping Jack Mischief
Eddie Mike thinks he’s a jumping jack! Mike’s are mischief. He’s jumping in the chair and he’s a show-off. He’s a normal boy because he’s jumping in the chair when his mom is not around. But, he shouldn’t do that with a light bulb in his hand. He might be electrocuted!
Eddie Mike is six, or maybe two and a half, or maybe twelve.
He’s performing for other kids with a lampshade on his head. He’s trying to be a lamp well lit.
Eddie Mike is also trying to raise a little hell. He’s showing off being a burning light. He’s the light of the party!
Eddie Mike is showing off for grandma and grandpa. They are over all the time. They’re in the living room or the front room. Eddie Mike is trying to imitate. Then he’s going to the bathroom. That’s why he’s running so fast.
He’s going to get a licking! The way he behaves, I don’t think he has family. If he did that in my chair, I’d hit him over the head!
Where did he get all that muscle? It came from all the exercise he’s getting.
His parents must be outside because he picked up the light bulbs and he thinks he’s a smartie. If his parents come in, they’re going to pick him up by the back of his butt and scold him. If he does that again, he’ll get spanked. Eddie Mike is like one of those possessed kids who goes from one thing to another.
The day is done!
