Squishy Buishy

Once upon a time, there was a little girl whose name was Buishy. She loved her mama, whose name was Mama Buishy. Buishy had a pillow...a squishy pillow, named Squishy Buishy. Buishy would sit on the floor of her room and hold her pillow, chanting, "Squishy Buishy, Squishy Buishy, Squishy Buishy!"

One day, Buishy was with Mama Buishy at the park and Buishy's friend Muishy Buishy passed by.

"Hi Buishy," called out Muishy Buishy.

"Hi Muishy Buishy," replied Buishy.

Muishy Buishy sat down next to Buishy.

"Can I play with Squishy Buishy?" asked Muishy Buishy.

"No!" exclaimed Buishy, holding tightly to Squishy Buishy.

And Buishy started chanting, "Squishy Buishy, Squishy Buishy, Squishy Buishy."

And Muishy Buishy replied, "Muishy Buishy, Muishy Buishy, Muishy Buishy!"

Just then, their little friend, Buishy Buishy, ALSO passed by and called out, "Hi Buishy! Hi Muishy Buishy! Can I play with Squishy Buishy?"

"NO!" shouted BOTH Buishy and Muishy Buishy!

Now all three of them sat on the ground and ALL three of them were yelling at the top of their lungs!

"Squishy Buishy, Squishy Buishy, Squishy Buishy."

"Muishy Buishy, Muishy Buishy, Muishy Buishy!"

"Buishy Buishy! Buishy Buishy! Buishy Buishy!"

Well, Mama Buishy had had enough!

"Girls!" She shouted. "Stop with all the Buishy's! You are driving me NUTS!" Mama Buishy picked up Squishy Buishy and ordered, " Enough playing! Squishy Buishy and Buishy are leaving the park! Good-bye! See you tomorrow! Go home everyone!!"

All the girls sighed a big, "AAAAAAHHHHH!" and then a sad "Bye-bye!"

But then as they all headed their separate ways, under their breathes you could just hear the chants saying, "Squishy Buishy, Muishy Buishy, Buishy Buishy..." all the way home.
