To Train Up A Child

That's right. You heard it here. A while back, one of Michael Pearl's own grandchildren in exasperation with her brother uttered words that seemed to have just the right cadence and smack to express her utter frustration --

"JOE!!! You DOUGHNUT COCONUT COCONUT COCONUT!!!"

-- much to the delight of everyone listening.

That grandchild's mother is Rebekah (Pearl) Anast. At the grown-up age of 12, she penned the following verse:

There’s a hole in my shoe,
And my toe is coming through,
There’s a scab on my knee
Cause I fell so gracefully,
There’s a patch on my eye
Cause the ball didn't go by.
There’s a song on my tongue,
But it’s stupid cause I’m young.

A poetic streak seems to run in that family line, and it seems to come with quite the sense of humor.
