SHORTCUTS




"I can count to 7!"
she announces proudly
"Wow!" I am amazed




as she can't count
up to 3
just the other day




"Ok!" I say
"Sock it to me!"
"7!" she declares




"Oh and I finished
all of the book!"
"Wow!" I wow again




seeing as she
can not as yet
read a single sentence




"Yes!" she confirms
"I've read all of
the full stops!"
