A Rude Awakening

A woman crouched upon the floor, retrieving something, near the door. I walked into the busy shop, while talking to my mum, I hadn't seen the woman there - and kicked her up the bum! written 6th January for Natasha's Funny Memories contest

OoHoo! Poor lady and poor little boy. Too funny Jack. It's so much fun to look back on things like that once we are older. God Bless, JB
