A Captured Conversation
As I lay there, the wind blowing on my face, I wondered.
"Nana", I said in a curious tone.
"Yes darling", she replied, her comb stuck in a knot.
"You see those people in the sea", I said.
"Yes", she said once again. "These knots are a disgrace you know", she added.
"Why can't I join them, splash around and paddle for a bit? I'd be back and dry in a flash".
Silence followed my question. The wind blew irritatingly over both of our faces as I expectantly awaited the answer.
"I don't think so darling, you'll get all wet and I've only just started brushing".
"Oh, come on. I only want to paddle for a few minutes".
The argument was beginning to fire up.
"I don't think you should".
"My mum would let me go in the sea", I said before giving up.
