While Boomer! and I had our sleepover, Mommy and Daddy visited their friends in New Jersey. They were invited to participate in the National "Take Your Children to Work" day events.
The morning started with a welcome program. Mommy spoke at that in front of an auditorium full of 500 people - children and parents. Word has it that both cafeterias were used as overflow and they were standing room only! Mommy had fun!
After the program, Daddy and Mommy did several storytimes and answered many questions. Mommy loves questions and there were some that she hadn't heard before. One young man asked her if she dreamed. Mommy answered she not only dreams, but she can see in them and they're in color! Another little boy asked her to sing a song, so she did "Rudy Tooty" - one of my favorites. Everyone clapped.
At lunch time, Mommy had a book signing and met many of the children. It went for 2 1/2 hours and there was always a steady line. It was great! The only reason she had to stop was to do another storytime!
Many more questions were asked by the children: "Do your eyes hurt?" "How did you become interested in poodles?" and a few "I never met a real author before!" She sure loves that stuff! I didn't think she would ever stop!
At the end of the day Daddy and Mommy were interviewed. Mommy was asked to sing again (the word was out by then) so now it's on tape - oh, oh!
Mommy and Daddy had a wonderful day, they are still talking about it. They really enjoyed meeting all the children and seeing their friends again.
P.S. The tall man from last year named Ivor (I think he's the CEO) dedicated a song to Mommy. He and his son sang it at the welcome program. It was called Blackbird and it was originally done by a Beatle before I was born. I didn't know bugs could sing! She felt very special.
Love,
Rudy the Jersey Poodle (forget about it!)
