First I wanted to show the fabulous party skirt I've worn twice now and I just love it. Bought it from Etsy and it's just so fun.
Then we write something short, sweet and get on with 2020. Cheers!
Words:
Pierce, ribbon, fresh,
established
Ella screamed in pain
in the middle of the store.
“Hold still,” Ella’s sister
Margaret said. “If you move, she won’t be piercing your ear anymore.”
“But…”
“You’ve established that
it hurts and scared everyone out of here.”
Ella held her breath
and closed her eyes. Another screech and the last spear was through. Her ears
were finally pierced.
Margaret put her hands
on Ella’s shoulders. “Happy thirteenth birthday.”
Tiny tears flowed. “Thanks,
Marg. I love them. They really sparkle.”
“Just like you. And
for being such a trooper, here’s a fresh ribbon for your hair tonight.”
With the biggest smile
full of braces, Ella pat the red velvet. “My first New Year’s Eve. I will not
fall asleep before midnight.”
