eliyesThis is just a little snippet I wrote back in July or August, when I had a random burst of Christmas spirit. It doesn't have a title, it's not mentally tagged to be part of anything larger other than "their lives" but hey -- it amuses me, so I share.
"What did you get Madison?" John asked.
"A science book," Rodney said. "For kids."
"Meredith, you got her a book about snot!" Jeannie yelled, changing lanes with a vicious jerk of the wheel.
"Wow," said John, struck by the possibilities. He turned to look at Rodney. "She's gonna be the most popular kid in her class."
"What?!" Jeannie couldn't look away from the road, so she had to make her incredulous face at the windshield.
"Kids love snot!" John said.
Rodney nodded.
"Besides, it's by the same people who did that My Tooth Is Loose! book, and that kiddie exercise DVD you like, Jeannie."
"Mer, there is a big difference between 'Let's Stretch' and a book about where boogers come from."
"And what they do," Rodney added.
"This book sounds awesome!" John commented, grinning.
Jeannie sighed, sensing the battle was lost.
