curious crew

I was pre reading Kipling's The Elephant's Child from The Just So Stories, as a possible story for the Crew. At the end this poem was there and I totally loved it and thought "I love my babies!" I thought I'd share it with you.

I KEEP six honest serving-men
(They taught me all I knew);
Their names are What and Why and When
And How and Where and Who.
I send them over land and sea,
I send them east and west;
But after they have worked for me,
I give them all a rest.

I let them rest from nine till five,
For I am busy then,
As well as breakfast, lunch, and tea,
For they are hungry men.
But different folk have different views;
I know a person small—
She keeps ten million serving-men,
Who get no rest at all!

She sends'em abroad on her own affairs,
From the second she opens her eyes—
One million Hows, two million Wheres,
And seven million Whys!

About My Wreck'n Crew

So I'm a family gal. I've been married for 10 yrs (including ups and downs). DaddyMan and I have 3 children with one the way! I call them my wreck'n crew. They are also known as my MM's or Mini Me's or Mini Muslims but wreck'n crew suits them just fine on most days. You should see some of the damage they can do. Anyhow. I'm a homeschooler to my 8,4,and 2 yr old. Mz.Lily is 8 yrs old she is striving to be a wife, mother, opthamologist, veterinarian, and oceanographer. The last one is thanks to the movie Free Willy and that I told her she could not have a whale of her own but if she decided to choose that as a career she could be able to enjoy them all she liked if she worked @ sea world. Mz.Pumpkin is 4 and hopes to still be the baby of the family even tho she has older sister responsibilities she also aspires to one day be her sister. JrMan is 2 and striving to fill the whole house with testosterone maleness by jumping tackling tossing climbing eating adventuring building demolishing and rebuilding all day with quite a few breaks so he can say "read this to me, Mama" as he shoves the same little people zoo pop up book under my nose. Baby # 4 has already established them self as an individual in the family by being the first to be a thumb sucker in the womb. That is my Wreck'n crew @ a glance
