Jessica’s Smile
|
|
Jessica was the centre of the attention of the baby show. Many of the other babies in the neighborhood with their mothers, aunties and the neighborhood ladies were showing off their babies. Jessica was tired of being the #1 baby, so she took off her fancy dress. All that she had on was her diaper and her frilly bloomers. She felt better!! No fancy clothes for her.
Grandma had just arrived and left a bag on the veranda. She was interrupted and Jessica climbed into her open bag. It was 94° F outside. It was hot!!!
Jessica has a mischievous look on her face because she found grandma ‘s prized, blue ribbon pickles in the bag. Jessica was happy because mom would let her have a cold Dill pickle to chew on. Mom said that it helped cut her new teeth.
Jessica’s big brother, Dustin, found her in the bag. Dustin was worried about the jars of pickles, so he bent down and picked her up. But the bag fell over and the jars of pickles fell out and rolled down the steps. Bump! Bump! Bump! Dustin’s face went blank because grandma was just coming out of the kitchen with the bowl, for the pickles, for the guests. The jars hit the ground and made a crushing noise but only one jar broke. The pickles were in distress and gushed out of the jar.
Grandma came out and saw the mess and everyone started explaining. When the people told grandma that Jessica was in her bag smiling. Grandma said, “Why are you so worried?” Jessica was in there with the smile, because she was having a poop.
