Just thought it would be fun to teach it to the next generation.
Betty At The Party
"When I was at the party,"
said Betty, aged just four.
"A little girl fell off her chair,
Right down upon the the floor;
And all the other little girls
Began to laugh, but me.
I didn't laugh a single bit,"
Said Betty seriously.
"Why not?" her mother asked her,
Full of delight to find
That Betty, bless her little heart,
Had been so sweetly kind.
"Why didn't you laugh, my darling?
Or don't you like to tell?"
"I didn't laugh," said Betty,
"Cause it was me that fell."
PS. Happy Birthday to our March babies! (Jordan, Cammy, Laurie, Eloise, David (the younger), Justin, and SungJin!!!)

I've always loved this poem. Thanks for posting it, I can't wait to teach it to Annabelle and Paul, especially because it seems like the party season is coming with all the spring and summer birthdays. Happy Birthday March Babies!
Oh I can still see Great Grandma telling that poem. Her big blue eyes would get even bigger and she has such a sweet smile. I love that poem. I loved all of Great Grandma's poems. Thank you for posting it! I was just telling Annaliese about this poem and she was very concerened about the little girl.(She had just had a similar experience with a soccer ball hitting her head at recess.)I can't wait to tell it to my kids. And Happy Birthday Marchies!
