Tiffany's Tail Tale

It's so easy it seems to get involved with my own life these days that I sometimes forget to come here to post. I do think about anyone who may visit me here. But, I'm often as life captures me up in business neglectful of doing a routine and regular update. I beg your forgiveness. My hope is that you, the reader, will enjoy the pieces of myself and my family that I share here anyway.

Children, I found while raising my own love to participate in what an adult is doing. Sometimes it can seem like a hindrance especially when it involves precision. I also discovered that if we take some time to involve them intentionally in something we do, they will remember that moment long after. My granddaughter was spending the night with us a few weeks back. She wanted to be around me as I was working at the computer. She also wanted me to let her help me. I decided that I would help her to write a story. Every child has one. This is Tiffany's.

Tiffany’s Tail Tale


This is a tale about a tail. The tail was on a mermaid. Tiffany loved the mermaid and thought it had an especially beautiful tail. She asked her mother if she could make her a tail like the mermaid, except she wanted hers to be pink.


Tiffany’s mommy said, “Yes, my darling child. I will make you a pink tail that looks like a mermaid tail.


Tiffany was so happy with her new pink, mermaid tail that she forgot to go to sleep that night. Instead she spent the whole night looking at her new tail in the bathroom. She did a prince dance to watch her tail twist and twirl around her. Then she washed her tail with a washrag to make it look pretty.


When Tiffany’s mommy woke up the next morning, she saw that Tiffany had been awake all night prancing and dancing with her pink, mermaid tail.


“Tiffany, you must go to sleep or I will have to cut off your pink, mermaid tail.


Tiffany didn’t want her mommy to cut off her new pink, mermaid tail. So she went to her room to take a nap.


When Tiffany was sleeping with her new pink, mermaid tail, she dreamed that she was in the ocean and was not just wearing a pink, mermaid tail, but she was becoming a princess mermaid.


When Tiffany woke up she found out that she was a pink princess mermaid.
