We asked all the neighbors Have you seen Dr Biggles But we never found her I tried to think what news could be as difficult as that Did Grandma Sadie die I asked
Of course not said my mother Grandma Sadie is in excellent health said my father Why would you ask such a question said my mother She is the oldest person I know I said I thought she might have died That would be difficult news My mother shivered Yes she said That would be very difficult news Nobody died my father said
So what is the news I asked My father looked at my mother My mother took a deep breath Bibi is moving away she said I blinked at them I could not speak
Bibi is my babysitter She has been my babysitter my whole life She is the best babysitter in the world She makes me soup when I am sick She holds my feet when I do handstands She knows which of my teeth are loose and which ones I’ve lost and where I was when I lost them She rubs my back when I am tired She takes a needle and thread and sews up my pants to make them fit right And she knows not to tickle me Because I hate to be tickled
