‘You are the horriblest mum in the world,’ she screamed. Sobbing, she ran to her refuge curling up behind a bookcase. Through the haze of tears something caught her eye. It was THE book, brand new, the one she’d been longing for. “Oh mum you’re the best,” she murmured happily as she hugged the book.

lovely and different too!
Powerful writing obsessive mom…perfectly establishes the bitter-sweet relationships mom and kids share. And if kids share your passion for books nothing like it.
TMP:- they do … always!

Thanks Magiceye.
Shilpa: You too? 🙂
LP: heh heh.. Absolutely.
totally relate to this! no one shares this on-off love-hate switch like a mom and her kids
Wonderful story in 55 words… a story we all mothers can relate to! 😀
Perfect!
Thanks Geeta – I experience it every day:-).
Right Kathy… Kids' reactions are so 'on the spot'
How terribly cutting that word hate can be when it comes from our children and how the heart rejoices when we hear those endearing proclamations of love. Amazing take on the prompt! ♥
Ha! How the young mind swings from 'hate' to love just at the sight of something it loves. Good take.
