Such
a fun bloghop! Thanks Emily and Melodie. Here is mine…
The
Lollipop
 |
| by I Should Be Folding Laundry |
It’s just the thing I want.
I can see the giant lollypop right
in the doorway of the shop. Its brightly colored swirls make my mouth water. Mickey
and his friends stare at me from the wrapper. They’re just daring me to eat
them!
I’m holding Angie’s hand while the crowd
pushes around us. But Mom told us to wait here. The worst part of being in a
family with five kids is waiting.
“Angie, I want to go in there.” I
pull on her hand and point at the shop.
“No way,” she says. “Mom told us to
wait.”
Now I start pouting. It’s not fair.
I still have five dollars. Five—whole—dollars! I could probably buy a million
giant lollypops.
Mom is taking my sisters to the
bathroom. They will take f-o-r-e-v-e-r!
There are lots of people here. Angie’s
watching the parade, but I’m too short. All I can see are lines of bums, fanny
packs, and strollers. She lets go of my hand and starts clapping. When it drops
back to her side—I don’t grab it.
I’ll be really fast. She won’t even
know I left. I wait for a second to see
if she will notice she doesn’t have my hand.
She doesn’t.
I take a small step back to see if
she will notice.
She doesn’t.
Then before she can stop me, I turn
and run.
Hehehehe
J Is it truth or fiction?

this is tough, scary & realistic!
guessing on wed!
Very scary. And I can so see it happening!
So fun and playful! I think this one is true. I hope he/she got a lollipop!
Ooh. If that were my child...eep. Haha. Can't wait to read Wednesday's story.
I'm going with fact!
Haha, that sounds like fact. A funny one too. For the kid!
Sounds realistic to me. The power of a lollypop is dangerous.
Ohh! I’m just going to have to go with fact for that one. Can I have a lollipop for voting?

This is so realistic. Well written too!
Hmmm...I don't want to be a sucker here. (couldn't resist!)
I'm waiting on Wed.'s post to be sure but I'm leaning toward truth.
I think this one is true. Little stinker :)
I'm going with fact! Lollipops are too tempting. ;)
How fun, but I'm thinking fiction.
I'm betting on true! I can see myself doing this as a child, scary as it is.
I can't decide on this one. It's tricky. I'll reserve a guess until Wednesday. This story makes me think of my son when he was little. He would've totally ran off to buy a lollipop.
I'm back and forth, but I think it's true. Then again, Idk...Guess I'll see what I think after Wednesday's post. :)
Gaaaaaah... true????? ;)
Oh man, yours are hard! I'd say this one is false. I'm just randomly guessing here.
I read your stories in reverse order. I am swamped at work and trying to sneak in a few stories whenever I can. I have to vote fiction here, but only because I felt the truth in your second one. You are an awesome storyteller.
My guess: fiction
Hmm... well, I said the other story was fact so I guess that means I have to say this one is fiction... but now I don't know!
Great writing! You have me stumped!
