Sentimental Moment or Why Did the Baguette Cross the Road?

Don't fill up on bread

I say absent-mindedly

The servings here are huge

My son, whose hair may be

receding a bit, says

Did you really just

say that to me?

What he doesn't know

is that when we're walking

together, when we get

to the curb

I sometimes start to reach

for his hand

What is the deeper message?

• In the eyes of your parents, you never really "grow up."

• Children need to respect their parents.

• Always believe in yourself even when others do not.

What is the main idea of the following poem:
The horse stood tall
Above them all.
He towered like a king
Such a beautiful thing.
He trotted with grace
With a perfect pace
The blue ribbon all a glow
He had finally won the show.

• The horse won the show
• The horse is ugly
• The horse was tired
• The horse was up on a hill
