Jack and His Seahorse

Posted in humor

Recently I posted some new pictures of Baby Jack on my Facebook account.  One of the pictures was of Jack and one of his Christmas presents:  a light-up, musical seahorse toy.  A friend commented that my title for that picture sounded like it was a fairy tale, and after looking again at the same series of pictures, I've tried my hand at actually writing that fairy tale.  You, my dear blogging friends, are about to have the pleasure...or otherwise...of reading it.  Here we go....

Once upon a time, there was a little, tiny baby named Jack.  He was pretty much friendless in the world, so his mommy bought him a seahorse.

"For me?" Jack asked. 

"How exciting!" Jack exclaimed.  "I've always wanted a seahorse!"

It was then, however, that Jack realized there was something very, very wrong with his seahorse friend.  It was bigger than he was, and Jack was a little frightened.

Jack knew something had to be done.  So Jack slowly crept up on the unsuspecting seahorse.

"Come here, little...er I mean gigantic...seahorse,"  Jack cooed.  "Let's have a little chat."

"Just a little closer..." said Jack.  And then he made his move to EAT the seahorse!

"No, no Jack!" cried his mommy.  "You musn't eat the seahorse.  The seahorse is your friend."  Jack cried because he really, really wanted to eat that seahorse he was really, really sorry about his behavior towards his first friend.

And so Jack said sorry to the seahorse and kissed him on the cheek.

Jack and his seahorse lived happily ever after.

The End

And that my friends is why I just write a measly blog and am not a published author.

He is just too cute you just want to pick him up and squeeze him. (In a good gentle way of course) :)

My, he's a cute little peanut, isn't he? He really looks a lot like Harrison, IMO.

Can't remember when I've laughed so hard. Jackson is definitely part of the Adelgren "ham clan".

I love it!

Can't wait to see you all.
Love and Hugs,
Ma

p.s. Could you bring that little seahorse with you?
