Lucy is eating her second watermelon slice. I indulge her because her sister, Rachel, is on a playdate and she’s not.
Slurp. Drip.
“Lucy, please don’t get watermelon on your dress.”
“Okay.”
Slurp. Drip. Drip.
“Lucy, I just said not to get watermelon on your dress!”
“I’m wearing Rachel’s dress.”

I’ll have to borrow my sister’s dress next time I’m slurping and dripping.
Thank you for sharing yourself wendy, REALLY great!
Loved the story and the surprise ending. Please write more as your story made my day. I like to start my days with a good laugh.
Lucy sounds a lot like a little Thai girl who happens to live in my house. Though she wears her brother’s dress.
