Goodnight Moon, by Margaret Wise Brown, 1947, I read that book so many times to our kids I could recite it page by page with my eyes closed and point to things on every page – such a classic: p. 1 – “In the great green room There was a telephone And a red balloon, And a picture of- The cow jumping over the moon….” Anybody else read that to their kids?
She needs to launch now while the moon is in the waxing crescent phase. If she can just get over the left sliver she will have made it. Just an observation though: it’s always dark on the other side of the moon.
When I was a kid back on the farm, we had a few cows. One of those cows was a Guernsey we named Daisy. She wasn’t much for jumping or hitting the books, but, by god, she gave a lot of milk. Twelve gallons per day in high summer…loaded with cream. Set me up for a lifetime seeking and enjoying dairy products. Thanks, Daisy.
She looks a trifle disturbed at his intrusion. Is it because he disrupted her concentration, or did he catch her plotting how she’s going to get rid of him?
But she really does need to get her rest. Even after she completes all the scientific planning, she’ll still have to hire the entertainment (I hear that a fiddle-playing cat might be available) and send out the invitations (there might be others, but the little dog, the dish and the spoon will be featured guests). And of course she’ll have to notify the press — the banner headline will no doubt read Hey Diddle Diddle! (And the gossip columns are just going to have a field day with the scandalous story of the affair between the dish and the spoon, not to mention the drunken behavior of the little dog.)

Looks like Daisy is planning to rid her significant other over the moon for ever! Hmm…

I guess we’ll see her on the dark side of the moon.
