My grandpa woke up from his nap,
and now my mom is mad.
She said I meant to wake him
and really should feel bad.
I told her I had made no noise —
the noise was from my drum,
but she just sighed and said that my
excuse was really dumb.
My mom is sure a meany
who probably rides a broom!
Because she is so mad at me,
she sent me to my room.
And Grandpa made a promise
that Mom says he can’t keep.
He promised that he’d play with me
when he woke from his sleep.

Well, if he’s like some grandpa’s I know he will show you how to make a drum from an old coffee can.

I’ll bet I know that grandpa too, even if I’ve never met him. 😊

Oh, it’s possible. A toddler, an old coffee can, and a spoon. Or a pan. They will have a skill to use when they get home, too.
