January 14, 2020, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story about dressing up. It can be a child or another character. Be playful or go where the prompt leads!
I never had the opportunity to dress up as a child
It never entered my head
I was far too busy, swimming, skating
Riding any bike I could borrow
I did have a cut-out book
Where I dressed a paper doll with different clothes
This, however, wore off too quick
I wonder now if it might have been
The lack of imagination, or up bringing
Parents need to understand a child
As my granddaughter does with
my little great grand daughter
I love to watch her run around
In nothing but a hat and wellies
Or her father’s big boots…

When in doubt, ALWAYS choose the birthday suit! And wellies. Because it’s fun to say. Loved this, like a blast from the past!🤗

I didn’t really dress up as a kid, either. Watching other babies play with funky outfits can be hilariou.

Oh, yes, I agree that we need to know (and encourage) each child!
