'little Girls Fall In Love Easily'

I am going to turn back the clock of time, to a Christmas when I was six years old; shopping with my mother one day I saw something, it was a life size doll and I fell in love. I talked about her non stop all the long day, and I wrote many letters to Santa (and his wife); my mother kept saying, "wouldn't you like a baby doll?" "no mommy, I want life size Sally!" On Christmas morning I flew down the stairs, the tree was all a glitter and Christmas music played; but no parcel looked big enough for a life size doll, I opened one box to find "stupid" baby doll. My lip was quivering but I did not cry, dad brought a white kitten in his arms for me; but little brother took it and they were playing, so, I went upstairs until mother called. And there was Aunt Mary holding Sally doll, I screamed- she was my "everything" for weeks! then- I picked up baby doll, "she had stuff", a cradle, bottles, clothes- and I fell in love. ____________________________________ December 14, 2016 Poetry/Narrative/Little Girls Fall in Love Easily Copyright Protected, ID 858-132-0 All Rights Reserved.
