A Bedtime Whisper

I scrambled up our mother's chest to give her a sweet goodnight kiss, but my curiosity took over! Her sculpted face rested in the soft room light with her smooth lips parted in a gentle, sleepy grin. Thinking it looked like a tiny, cozy cavern, I leaned in to whisper a secret right between her teeth. My toes slipped on her chin, and whoosh—my head plunged straight into the gap! My wide ears flared wide and anchored firmly behind the corners of her mouth, leaving my plump belly wedged tight against her lower lip. My stubby legs are kicking freely in the air, muffled and thoroughly stuck for bedtime.
