I Love Lemonade
Written by Mark Sommerset
Illustrated by Rowan Sommerset
Baa Baa Sheep returns with even more mischief this time. Given, adults really need to talk to kids about not pulling any of his pranks in real life.
In the previous story, Baa Baa Smart Sheep, Baa Baa knowingly tricked Quirky Turkey into consuming smart pills, which were actually poop. In this tale, Quirky seeks revenge. He wants to convince Baa Baa that a glass of pee is actually delicious lemonade. Naturally, Baa Baa is way too smart for Quirky. All he needs to do is the classic misdirect ala Bugs Bunny.
So, you’re sure it’s lemonade?
Yes, it’s lemonade.
That’s fresh.
And squeezed.
…
You’re a turkey.
I AM a turkey.
Who likes lemonade?
Who LOVES lemonade.
Then … why don’t you help yourself?
Don’t mind if I do!
This is very funny, especially for first and second graders, but, again, maybe giving them new ideas is not the best thing to do. You decide.
