A Mom and her Daughter
When I first started writing this story, I had 5 children, all of them less that teenaged.Now that they're all grown, I still look back on those younger days with great fondness. Many of the scenes in this story come from my children and how they behaved, how they found things to laugh about, and how amazing their imaginations were. In this scene, I took from how we, as parents, interacted with our children. If you're a parent I'm sure you can relate and if not, let me tell you, doing things like this were wonderfully amazing! Please enjoy this short excerpt from my book, "The Imagination Stone" which will be released mid-October this year!
Book Excerpt
The Imagination Stone
Julie cleaned off her desk and looked around to see if she had forgotten anything. When she was convinced that everything was where it should be, she looked at a waiting Doni and asked, “Who’s ready for pizza night?”
Doni jumped up and down and raised her hand. “Oh, me! Me! I want to go to pizza night!”
Julie pretended to look around the room. “Hmm,” she said. “I’m not seeing anyone who really wants to go to get pizza. I might have to go by myself.”
“Mom!” Doni said loudly, “Right here! I want to go with you!”
“Oh, Doni!” she said, and pointed to her teasingly. “I’m glad that you said something. I was really hoping that you wanted to go.”
“Mom,” Doni whined, “of course I want to go.”
“Then I guess we’d better get going,” Julie said smiling, and touched her on the nose with her finger.
