Reading Good Night Stories @senseicat

One of the best parts of being a mom is having the privilege of reading and sharing stories before bedtime. My son is almost 12 years old, but not too old to be read to. Each night after brushing teeth, he knows how to stay up a little while longer by requesting me to read to him. I also make requests to him so he can practice reading out loud.

Each time, one of us reads, "tickle me too," we know that someone is getting tickled so it's best to have a quick reaction and memorize the versus well as self protective measure.

ICKLE ME, PICKLE ME, TICKLE ME too

Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too
Went for a ride in a flying shoe.
"Hooray!"
"What fun!"
"It's time we flew!"
Said Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too.

Ickle was captain, and Pickle was crew
And Tickle served coffee and mulligan stew
As higher
And higher
And higher they flew,
Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too.

Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too,
Over the sun and beyond the blue.
"Hold on!"
"Stay in!"
"I hope we do!"
Cried Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too.

Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle too
Never returned to the world they knew,
And nobody
Knows what's
Happened to
Dear Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too.
