Halloween Blues written by Kimberly M. Hall

 The small and the big hands were sticking close together somewhere between the seven and the eight.  What time is it, asked Porter?  It’s almost time for a goodnight bed time story.  Can I have a raincheck?  I’m in the middle of practicing to be a secret agent.

You’re a secret agent who doesn’t know how to figure out his own bed time.  I’m a baby boss!  I don’t know what time it is because I don’t have a watch.  I’m the boss of you kiddo and when the small hand is on the seven and the big hand is on the eight, it’s already past your bed time.  Even if I’m a top secret agent?  The big boss says yes, even for a top secret agent who still wears his training pants.

Are you falling asleep with your Halloween costume on?  I don’t want to oversleep and be late waking up on time for school tomorrow.  You’re too funny.  How many more days until Halloween?  A baby boss knows how to count down for himself.

Good morning mister top secret agent.  Did you help solve any mysteries since we last talked?  The time on the digital alarm clock is number 6, 3, 0.
