Back on Land

“Wow, honey. Good job holding your breath!” Mother said to Bernice as she resurfaced. 

“I told you I was good at it.”

“You most certainly are.”

Mother started to pick up the bath toys and place them into a bucket that was on her left.

“What are you doing?” Bernice asked.

“Bath time is over. Aren’t you glad?” Mother smiled, and plopped the mermaid toy into the bucket.

“Not really. While I was down there I met a mermaid.”

“Oh, did you?”

Then Bernice realized something. “And I didn’t even say bye! Can I go back down, Mommy, just for a second?”

But by then, Mother had already pulled the drain plug at the bottom of the tub.

“I’m sorry, sweetie. Maybe next bath time. You can wear your bathing suit again, and then you’ll get to say goodbye to your little mermaid.”

Bernice agreed to this,  stood up, and stepped out of the tub.

Mother wrapped her with a dry towel, and used another towel to dry her hair.

Mother grinned as she glanced into the bucket where she had put all the toys. She picked it up and but them away under the sink, after which she led Bernice out of the bathroom before shutting off the lights. 

“I can’t wait till next bath time.” Bernice said.

Great Job!!! :)

Okay, so here's the difference between you and me. you could end this story with a happy ending i wouldn't be able to. I probably couldn't help it and would probably end it with Bernice in an asylum strapped down to a bed and thrashing about muttering about mermaids and her mom weeping. so i guess my mind is a bit darker than yours.

Great children story!! :)

Oh my god, no- I always want to end stories like that, I do!!! XD But I do like writing for children, and something tells me that those endings wont be popular with them d:
