Here’s my
Valentine's story. I've posted my story on my main blog here. I don't use Blogger very often.
Title: Creative Kate WC 210
Kate’s mom
was always busy cleaning on Saturday mornings.
“Mom, will you play with me?”
“Later, darling.”
Kate watched her mom bring the garbage outdoors.
“Mom. Where does the garbage
go?”
“A truck comes by and picks up
the trash bins.”
“You mean the truck has hands?”
“No, darling, there are men
that drive the truck and empty our trash.”
“Oh,” said Kate, not entirely convinced. “Mom, can you play with me. I’m bored.”
“Why don’t you
play with my pots and pretend you’re a
cook. I have to finish the ironing.”
“Aww, okay,” Kate sighed.
Kate noticed a package of flour sitting on the counter.
She pulled out the ingredients from the fridge and set them
neatly on the counter.
She was careful not to make a mess when mom walked into the
room.
“Uh-oh!” thought Kate.
“Oh, my goodness, Kate! What
are you doing?”
“Cookies for daddy.”
“I see. Let me help you.”
“You’re not angry mom?”
“No, dear. While I vacuum
later on you can paint, would you like that?”
“Paint? Yes,” cheered Kate.
Kate’s mom
placed the painting kit on the counter.
“It’s Valentine’s Day
today, surprise me.” Kate’s mom
said, leaving the room.
Kate dabbed her fingers into the red paint.
Soon hearts were everywhere.
