Saturday Centus – Wk#108 – Prompt: Photo – 100 words – “Spies”
May 29, 2012
Melanie giggled, “I think she’s a fashion model. Look at her shoes.”
Abbie had another idea, “I think she is really a princess. She’s hiding from the evil queen.”
A man with shiny, black shoes walked by.
“He’s a police officer. They have shiny shoes.”
Abbie laughed, “No, he’s the prince looking for his princess.”
Another set of legs approached.
“Girls, why are you under the table?” a voice asked.
Abbie and Melanie sat up giggling.
“Sorry, mum, we were watching people go by and were guessing who they really were.”
“Abbie thinks everyone is a prince or princess.”

In someone’s eyes, we are all princes and princesses! A wonderful post, Ross!!!
Thanks for the comment.
In the story, “A Little Princess”, a girl insists every girl is a princess. Who would I be to claim otherwise?
I think I like Abbie’s point of view!
=)
Thanks for the comment.
I agree, Abbie’s outlook is very positive.
LOL, definitely something kids would do. I could see my own doing just that!

Thanks for the comment.
Many years of teaching 5 to 12 year old children often gives me ideas for stories. I was always fascinated by their ability to look at the world in ways adults have often forgotten.
I love this! What a wonderful take on the prompt!
Thanks for the comment.
I can easily imagine children having fun as in the story.
Oh wow!
This brought back a memory of my children!
They used to hide under the table and make up stories.
What fun, Ross!
Thanks for the comment.
Either it’s years of teaching helping me to better understand the minds of children or perhaps I’m an incarnation of Peter Pan.
Children’s ways of looking at the world can be fascinating.
