The Toy
by carolynholm
Dear Mom,
You have some strange stuff.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
That’s an old toy horse. I think it’s kind of cool.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
I don’t see the point of it.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
There is no point. It’s just sweet and reminds me of childhood.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
Did you ride this horse when you were little?
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
No of course not! It’s for playing with, not for riding.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
Does one bat it around? Grab it in your mouth? Chase it across the floor?
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
No of course not. Humans don’t play with things that way.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
A pen is a lot more fun.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
You really like playing with pens, don’t you? They keep disappearing and then I find them under the furniture.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
See. A lot more fun than a toy horse.
Love, Mia
