CHAPTER 1
Oh, Teddy Bear, oh, Teddy Bear, what have you done? Sitting in the corner, sucking your thumb. I can't imagine what crime you have committed. What put you on your little chair where you're sittin'?
Did you have your hand in the cookie jar? Or did you venture out in the yard too far? Were your toys left out all over the floor? Did you get angry and slam a door?
Use your pillowcase for candy to hide? What could be the reason you're stuck inside? Did the dog eat your peas you snuck under the table? Did you reprogram the buttons on the remote for the cable?
What could you have possibly done? What brought a stop to all your fun? Did you use a whole bottle of shampoo in the bath? Should have known Mom wouldn't laugh!
Got caught putting the playdough in the dryer? Found on the countertop, trying to go higher? Tried to flush your fuzzy friend down the toilet? That could have caused you to be where you're at.
You just didn't seem like the mischief-making kind. If I look harder, what other no-nos will I find? There you sit with the smile on your face, In the corner chosen for the time-out space.
Held tight on the lap of your partner in crime, You both turn and ask if it's been enough time.
