October drabbles - 30

“There was a mouse at school today.”
“Really dear?”
“Yes Mom. The builders said it came out the wall when they mended the holes.”
“Oh, really dear.”
“There was a cat at school.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Katie’s mommy brought it to catch the mouse.”
“Oh, really dear.”
“And there was a dog.”
“Really? Oh dear.”
“It was chasing the cat I think.”
“Really?”
“And an elephant too.”
“Surely not.”
“It was pink. And an alien.”
“Really dear!”
“Really Mom and it ate it me,” the little boy said, jumping up from his dinner in glee. “Now it’s going to eat you.”
