Concoctions

I mixed together dish soap and colored water, to make some bubble blower.

But spilled it on the kitchen floor.

I guess we'll just have to walk slower.

I blended grass, dirt, and water to create a tube of sludge.

I left it on my desk to leak.

Now my wall has a giant smudge.

I combined vinegar and baking soda, to watch the fizzy overflow.

The carpet soaked up most of it.

Where the rest went no one knows.

I dropped Mentos in a bottle of Coca-cola to observe the fountain spray.

But since I did these things indoors,

Mom says it's clean-up day.

I like to make concoctions,

Mom says I like to make a mess.

Everything I combine seems to put her patience to the test.

Concoctions teach me many things. I like to mix and explore.

Mom says one thing I have yet to learn is they don't belong indoors.
