The challenge is to write a story for children 12 and under using 50 words or less. YIKES!

My entry, at exactly 50 words, is about the wonder and curiosity a child has about the baby growing inside his or her mother.

You’re quiet inside mama’s belly. What are you doing in there?

Sleeping?
[spacer height=”10px”]
Dreaming?

You’re moving inside mama’s belly. And I can feel what you’re doing in there.

Kicking.

Twisting.

You’re noisy outside mama’s belly. I can hear and see what you’re doing now!

Screaming!
