At four years old Elle is a little short for age, with brown hair and the prettiest blue eyes. Elle is dressed in her favorite jacket, it’s orange and her mom even let her wear her new hat. She’s also got her rubber boots on because it’s supposed to rain later, and she makes a habit of jumping in puddles. But she couldn’t do that today she thought crossly. “If I want to go to Grandmas I have be extra good this morning.” “Right” she thought. “I can do this.” I’m going to go play on the swings, I can’t get into trouble there. [[Elle does get into trouble]] or [[Elle stays out of trouble for now.]]While she was thinking this, her mother who had heard her cry out came rushing out the door scared out of her mind. “Oh my God baby girl what happened?” Mama asked as she knelt beside Elle. At her mother’s concern Elle began to cry. “M-M-Momma it was awful! I was just swinging a-and I slipped off the swing and I hurt my knee.” Elle said. “Oh dear honey that’s horrible. Come on, lets get you up and we’ll go inside and put a bandaid on your knee and see about getting you a snack.” [[Elle goes inside for a snack]]However, though Elle tried very hard to stay out of trouble, it was not to be. Elle was imagining she was going to be an astronaut and she had to get high enough to get to space. As she was swinging, trying to see how high she could go, she slipped and fell off the swing. With a startled cry she hit the ground and knocked the wind out of her self. She was so confused and in pain. [[“what happened?!]]” she thought wildly.Elle got to pretend she was an astronaut while swinging on the swings, and when she jumped off she didn't land on the ground but flew into space. She got to fly around the stars and visit far off planets. She was half way around a distant moon when momma started yelling for her to [[come in.]] Elle is still sniffling as Momma picks her up and they head inside, but her knee is feeling better and Momma is the best. When they go inside Momma sets Elle down and helps her take off her jacket. Elle sits on the couch while Momma goes to get the bandaids. “Elle which one do you want?” Momma called. Oh!, Elle’s eyes widened, she had forgotten they bought new ones at the store the other day. “Mommy, I want one of the new ones, the glow in the dark hero ones!” Her mommy was laughing as she came back into the room. “What Mommy? What’s so funny?” Elle asked. Her mother shook her head “Nothing baby, just thinking that your aunt would be so proud.” That made Elle sit up straighter in her seat, She didn’t get to see her aunt very often because she lived so far away, but she always brought amazing toys, and sent cool stuff when she couldn’t come see Elle. “Really?” she asked. Momma was nodding her head. “Yep, really.” It’s one of her favorite things. “Wow, Mommy, can I have two.” That made her mommy laugh. “No baby just one, It’s not that big of a scratch and we don’t want to [[waste them.”]]
Elle thinks for a moment and agrees. "Now" Momma said as she knelt in front of Elle, "What do you want for your snack? Would you like [[braunschweiger and mustard]] or [[peanut butter and strawberry jelly?]]The look on Elles' face as her mother sets the plate down must have been a sight because her momma just laughed and went to clean up the mess. Elle with was feeling a whole lot of trepidition as she picked up the sandwich. As she bit into it, she immediately gagged and threw the sandwich. The sandwich hit the wall and stuck. Elle's momma turns around horrified and Elle looked at her horrified. "Elle Blake what on Earth posessed you to do that?!" her momma yelled. Elle was almost in tears again but she answered [["Momma it was so gross!"]]"Oh momma, I want that one!" Elle exclaimed. Her momma laughed as she set the sandwich down. Elle grabbed up the sandwich and ate it. After that it was nap time and then it would be time to go to Grandmas house!
"Elle I don't know what's going on with you today, but you are in serious trouble young lady. First you jumped off the swings which is a no-no and now your throwing food at the walls?! Momma exclaimed. "Go to your room young lady!" "But Momma what about Grandmas?" Elle asked as she started up the stairs. "Elle you have done a lot of things to get in trouble today, now it's nap time, go to your room and we'll discuss Grandmas again when you [[get up.]]Elle's momma decided that Elle could go to grandma's house, more because grandma and grandpa get a kick out of it and would be so disappointed. As Elle went inside, she was so excited because after snack time was nap time and after that she would get to grandmas.
