The littlest storyteller

PHOTO PROMPT © CEAyr

Will you tell me a bedtime story?

Maybe tomorrow.

Tired, daddy?

Just a little.

From slaying dragons? You have dragon blood on your coat again.

Dragons?

That green shiny stuff there, and there. There’s another spot and here too.

Oh…It must have sprayed onto me when…

You can tell me. I promise I won’t tell anyone. Cross my heart. Hope to die. Oh, don’t worry I won’t really die. It’s just how Jamie and I make promises. So we know for sure.

I was going to say, it must have sprayed onto me when we were making slime.

    Dear Fatima,

    Children are more perceptive than we often give them credit for. Sweet story.

    Shalom,

    Oh… it’s so much more preferable to be the daring dragonslayer than the sly slimemaster.

        Yes, there are some good dads that don’t get much credit. One of the highlights of my hubby’s evenings was tucking his youngest daughter to bed and reading a story to her. It would be wonderful if it was always like that. Great writing … 😎
