Cousin Michelle?
Yes, Cousin Jacob?
It is different in the country than it is in the city.
Yes, it is. What are some differences?
My yard is small in the city. Your yard is big in the country.
When you ride your scooter at home in the city there are sidewalks to ride on.
In the country you don’t have sidewalks so I have to stay close to the side of the road when I ride my scooter.
In my house in the city I have a pet hamster in my room. I used to have fish.
At our house in the country we have squirrels, and chipmunks, and rabbits, and raccoons, and deer, and sometimes even bears in the backyard.
My house in the city has turkeys in the backyard!
I remember seeing them when I came to visit you in the city. I was so surprised!
When I take a bath in my tub in the city I like bubbles and my tubbie dinosaurs.
I am sorry I don’t have bubbles or dinosaurs for you in my tub in the country but I have some cups and a frog that squirts water out of his mouth.
Cousin Michelle, in my room in the city I have pictures of Cookie Monster and Big Bird on the wall.
Ah, yes. I remember. You were very kind and let me sleep in your room when I visited your apartment in the city. Now that you are visiting my house in the country you sleep in my boy’s room where there are pictures of baseball players on the wall.
When I go to bed in the city I hear the trains go by and see their lights.
When you go to bed in the country you will hear crickets and frogs. It will be very dark but I will keep the hall light on if you’d like.
I'd like that.
Cousin Jacob?
Yes, Cousin Michelle?
I know something that is the same in your city apartment and in my country house.
What’s that?
Both places have people who love you.
Good night, sweet dreams, I love you.
