What my mother doesn't know

This is a page from the book What my mother doesn't know (a story of love and confusion) by Sonya Sones. It's an awesome book and very unusual as each page is written kind of differently like a poem or something. It's very cool.

"Shadow Play

We've turned off all the lights
in the living room
to make hand shadows.

We've got this
big flashlight
aimed at the wall.

I make the silhouette of my hand
into a duck.
Robin makes his into a rabbit.

Now my duck kisses his rabbit
And--POOF!--it turns into
a turkey.

And for some reason
this strikes us as hysterically funny.

But you probably had to be there"
