About Me
- Kimberly Long Cockroft
- I live, write, and work in a sweet town perched on the edge of Puget Sound. My work has been published in a variety of genres, including poetry, fiction, and children's literature. I love sharing my passion for words and community with folks of all ages, from elementary school students to adults, and have been privileged to do just that for many years as a teacher, journalist, spiritual writer, and friend. Pots of tea abound.

Baby, looking at lipstick in his hand thinks "This would look good smeared on my face!"
babe: Dada. Look. Me float!
pops: Holy *#&%!
I told you, stay away from Daddy's jetpack!
The neighbors are raising Cain!
Woman in window: "There are bigger problems than florescent peas here. Better alert the sheriff!"
Hey, y'all, why watch the Oscars when there are so many more fun things to do--like spy on your neighbors or play the Add-A-Caption Game? You know you didn't watch any of those movies, anyway.
Dad: You will wear this bib, or I'll wear it for you.
Mommy's second day of secret observation (she told the man, the daddy, that she was in Cancun with girlfriends). The first night she observed through the window, her husband didn't realize messes could be minimized with the simple use of a bib. Tonight, it seems, he's wised up! But will he step toward Baby WITH the bib? Will he be able to fasten it AROUND Baby's neck? The suspense is killing her.
Dad (later): Honey, everything went fine tonight. Junior was a little angel.
Mom (to herself, remembering what she saw through the window): Liar, liar, bib on fire.
Mommy also enjoys codpiece peek-a-boo!
What darlin? You need a bib you say? (Muttering) More like a straight jacket!
daddy: "why are you being messy?"
baby: "ba ba ba."
daddy: "I forgot, babies can't talk!"

Baby: "I'm hungry!"
Daddy: "How about some cereal?"
Baby: "No...want avocado!"
Daddy: "You already had some."
Baby: "Never mind."
