Kylie loves jellybeans, the red and orange
ones. Says they’re the sweetest. I prefer gummy bears, the green ones. I like
the taste of green. Yesterday after school we spread out a tablecloth on the
large table in the back porch and made houses with our goodies. For the first
time, she borrowed some of my green gummies to finish her chimney and front
door. She was really inspired and made the biggest house ever. “One day I’m
gonna have a house like this one. I’m gonna call it The Rainbow Mansion!” And
then she looked at my house and said, “You’re always makin’ green houses. Who
wants to live in a green house? That is sooo ugly!” And she squeezed her eyes
and wrinkled her nose so that she ended up making a face that was much uglier
than the ugly she said my house was. I looked into her shriveled blue eyes. “My
bears will eat your beans,” I whispered in my serious voice. And I must have
had a scary face because that’s when she looked at me like she had just peed
her pants.
