I'm great with children's book.

A woman told me at breakfast how much she likes to see women who are "great with child" at conferences like this, because of how much they must love the discipline to show up when they're great with child. 

My takeaway is that I'm great with child.  I've never been so great with child. How great, child. With.

Would you like to read my children's buke? I decided to send it to Mom.  Mom loved it, which made me unexpectedly deeply happy. I mean, Mom loves it when one of her kids sneezes. But I still love it when Mom fawns over me, so.

So, the illustrations will have to do a lot of work, in helping the reader keep track of what's going on.  Also, I'll probably friends-lock this in a few days just because.  (Because it's all true, from the POV of the heebie-beebie.) Also each sentence gets its own page.  Also I don't have a title. Feel free to suggest.

Children's Boook
By Heebie-geebie

1. My mother is a mathematician who eats her ice cream with a fork.

2. My mother's mother paints pictures of cats and ballet dancers, and likes to wear bright colors.

3. My mother's mother's mother was a college professor, who likes watered down coffee, sometimes in her cereal.

4. My mother's mother's mother's mother grew up in Russia, where she sometimes had to sleep on the stove to stay warm. Or so I've heard.

5. My mother's mother's mother's mother's daughter never engaged in any mischief, and ran the cash register in their family's hardware store.

6. My mother's mother's mother's mother's daughter's daughter lined the insides of her shelves with wallpaper and made dolls to live there.
 
7. My mother's mother's mother's mother's daughter's daughter's daughter played soccer and wore pigtails.

8. My mother's mother's mother's mother's daughter's daughter's daughter's daughter...is me.


So that's my children's boook. We learned words like fangoriously, and gelatinous, and....um....linebacker. Some people like to plagiarize Strongbad. Heebie-geebie is going to go eat an ice cream sandwich.
