Daaaaaddy,<\/p>\n
Yes, darling<\/p>\n
Tell me a story!<\/p>\n
ok, my dear, I will.<\/p>\n
About whhhaaaat?<\/p>\n
How about the time
\nI met the potato
\nfairy?<\/p>\n
the whooo?<\/p>\n
I said,
\nthe potato fairy.
\nThat’s why I’m the best potato cooker.<\/p>\n
Hm. You’re potatoes are really good.
\nBut you’re every food is good.<\/p>\n
Yeah, yeah.
\nBut I’m the best potato cooker.
\nI met the fairy.
\nHe told me so.<\/p>\n
Whhaaat? I’ve never heard that one before.<\/p>\n
Well, then settle down and sit tight
\nand I’ll regale you the tale.<\/p>\n
When I was a kid<\/p>\n
abbbout how old?<\/p>\n
Oh, about a little bit older than you
\nI was cooking in the kitchen
\nwith my lovely little kitten
\npotatoes in the pan
\nturnin’ golden and delicious
\nwhen a little bitty fairy
\ncame by <\/p>\n
whaaaaat did he say?<\/p>\n
Oh, I’ll tell you what he said,<\/p>\n
“Hey, can I try a fry?” <\/p>\n
So I looked at my pan
\nand said
\nSure, I’ve got enough
\nhave a little or a lottle
\nits up to you.<\/p>\n
whaaat did he do?<\/p>\n
He took a healthy portion
\nand he sat out the table
\nand if you would
\nbelieve it,
\nhe ate with a ladle.<\/p>\n
whaaat’s a ladle?<\/p>\n
well, it’s like a really big spoon.<\/p>\n
waait, he ate his potatoes with a spoon
\nthat doesn’t make much sense<\/p>\n
a fairy at the kitchen table
\nhad me and the kitten very perplexed<\/p>\n
confused!<\/p>\n
right!<\/p>\n
whaaaat did he look like?<\/p>\n
Well, he wore a very large hat
\nand he was very little,
\nand very fat
\nand he had a
\nmischievous look
\nin his eyes
\nbut what happened next
\nI didn’t expect
\nand it very much
\n took me by surprise.<\/p>\n
so what happened?<\/p>\n
Well, he gobbled
\nand he hobbled
\nround the table
\npicking up and
\nputting down the plate
\nstaring at the taters
\nwith great scrutiny
\nin front of his face
\nThen he made a great commotion
\nand he jumped in wild motion
\nand I had the crazy notion
\nhe liked the taste<\/p>\n
whyyyy do you think that?<\/p>\n
well he hooted
\nand he hollered
\nand he looked a little bothered
\nand a little hot under the collar
\nand he was panting
\nand sweating up a storm <\/p>\n
he looked in my eyes,
\nand to my surprise
\nI could see his tears
\nwelling up,<\/p>\n
He said,
\nSon, those the best potatoes
\nI ever did taste
\nand I’ve tasted all of em
\n I’m not young
\nfor I am the potato fairy
\n and I believe
\n I can say
\n I’m the only one.<\/p>\n
iiii’ve never heard of a potato fairy.<\/p>\n
I hadn’t either, before then. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
