A Bottle of Memories: Memories of our Dads

Among the Waves

Dreamily striding down to the waves, Dad scuffs the sand out of his way. Leaping into the water and seeing humongous waves, he yanks me and my brother up with great power. We see the next one approaching, but again we feel ourselves being lifted up. This time I didn’t get up straight away. I feel my body fall onto the sand. A mouthful of salty water fills my throat and I get up, choking just before my amazing dad saves me once again.

Come and Play

Trying to persuade Dad to come out for a game of rugby. Striding outside to grab my rugby ball. Something curious has happened. I go inside and see crumbs have fallen off the side of the chair. He still hasn’t moved! I sneak up on him and screech “BOO!” He jumped. “Ok, ok!” he said as he pushed himself off the chair.

Delightful Treats

Slurping his little ice cream on her miniature table, the alert minuscule baby piglet is content stuffing her mouth with divine ice cream. Charlotte has a baby pink snout with a small cute smile. Delighted she has a pink body with black spots dappled all over her. Satisfied the piglet twitches her mini ears in interest, trying to catch every little drop before it falls to the luscious grass in the meadow. Crying in delight she is filled with happiness. Charlotte the piggy loves her delicious little treat.

Greedy Pig Learns a Lesson!

“Deeeelicious!” thinks the greedy pig. White creaming ice cream drips down his frozen nose. Plonking himself down, he starts to cruise after a hard day’s work. Sunbathing pig twitches his nose when leaning over the creamy blob. Pigs dark blue seat starts to bend under his weight as he easts more and more. BANG! Silly pig soon learns his lesson.
