Hush

Little Daylan checked out a book yesterday… all about sea turtles. “Mrs. Lundberg? Wanna know why I’m checking out another book about the sea?”

“Why’s that, Daylan?”

“Cause I’m gonna read it to Hush.”

“Hush?”

“Yeah. He’s my goldfish.”

“And you’re going to read him a story?”

“Yeah. I figure since he’s from the ocean, he’d like that.”

“Hush is a lucky fish.”

“Yeah.”

I just can’t seem to resist the urge to write a children’s book about Daylan and Hush. I already know the last word.

Flush.

I like that you have these conversations.

Rush? I don't get it.

Diane said...

...it all rhymes with hush and flush.

Suzie said...

Ah. So it could go something like....

"and so ends the tale of daylan and hush. time has marched on, there's no need to rush. the fish is dead... it's time to flush."
