So what is the news I asked My father looked at my mother My mother took a deep breath Bibi is moving away she said I blinked at them I could not speak
Bibi is my babysitter She has been my babysitter my whole life She is the best babysitter in the world She makes me soup when I am sick She holds my feet when I do handstands She knows which of my teeth are loose and which ones I’ve lost and where I was when I lost them She rubs my back when I am tired She takes a needle and thread and sews up my pants to make them fit right And she knows not to tickle me Because I hate to be tickled
I started to cry I don’t want to get so big I said Everything will not be okay I said This is as bad as somebody dying I said And it was It was as bad as somebody dying
