A Short Story in pictures

GRACE n' GRASS

"What beautiful light outside", Mom thinks.   

"I'm going to take that pretty baby of mine out on the lawn."

Pretty baby likes the lawn. 

It makes her salivary gland work overtime. 

Mom brings out matching hat to bump up the cuteness factor (if at all possible). 

Pretty baby discovers a crusty leaf on the lawn.

"Yum", she thinks.

Pretty baby thinks she needs more fiber, so she decides she must eat crusty leaves.

Mom knows pretty baby has had enough fiber and steals the leaves from her mouth with one quick finger sweep. 

Pretty baby doesn't understand how her mother could be so mean and hurtful. 

She gives Mom "the look" that says "YOU did this to me!"

Mom takes pictures of "the look", so she can look back at them when pretty baby is 16. 

Pretty baby decides that if she can't eat leaves, she's not going to wear this silly hat anymore!

Mom gives pretty baby a flower to help her forget the pain of losing that leaf (and to make her keep the hat ON).

Pretty baby's short memory helps the pain subside quickly.

Mom kisses pretty baby and runs her inside for dinner and a tubby. 

THE END.
