The Callmon Family – Short Story.

Meet the Family

First, we’ll start with Johnson (the father) and his wife Lucy. Now, the kids: Daisy – the oldest, Jimmy – the middle kid, and Danny – the cry baby. You’ve met the family, so let’s move onto the story of their life. This will be a comedy.

Getting Ready For School

It was Wednesday morning – Danny’s first day at his nursery. While Danny was still changing Jimmy was nearly finished. Daisy was already at school, or was she? Instead of going to school she went to a shop where she was about to get a shock of her life!

Johnson  was spying on Daisy – he was hiding behind the shelves. Suddenly, he jumped out yelling “aha!”. Everyone looked at him like he was nuts, but people… this is only the beginning. Things are about to get a lot weirder.

Danny At School

We haven’t spoken about Danny much. You know – the cry baby. As soon as their mama left him at the nursery, he started sobbing. For the whole day, the teachers and children were being tortured by his wailing. Now you know why we call him “cry baby” and why he’s not in the happy family picture (above).

Family Time

It was a Friday afternoon and Danny was still weeping. Johnson wanted to cheer him up with one of his jokes. Drum roll, please! Here it comes: there was a boy playing superheroes and he was under a cover. What did he say? I’m undercover. 🙂 After the joke, Danny was still crying, so they set out on a quest to find a happy family restaurant. However, Jimmy let’s just say… he forgot to change. So yeah, he pretty much went in his pjs.

Family Goes to Church

On Sunday, they ate breakfast, brushed their teeth, changed into their clothes, brushed their hair, put cream on their crusty faces and put their shoes on. When they arrived at the church, Jimmy shouted, “Are we there yet?” As soon as he did that, everyone stopped praying and turned their heads in the Callmons direction. Embarrassing, huh?

End of The Story

Just to warn you this last paragraph is very short. It was late and the family went to sleep.

THE END

For Now…
