December drabbles - 14

David didn’t want to be a shepherd.
“Why not?”
“’Cause Daniel’s a sheep; he says he’ll bite me.”

David didn’t want to be a king.
“Why not?”
“’Cause Patrick says the presents weigh too much.”

He didn’t want to be an angel because they wore dresses. Or a camel or a sheep or a donkey because they smell.

“So what will you be?”
“A squirrel, except I can’t see properly through the eye-holes in my mask.”

David’s sister said that was fine because Jesus probably couldn’t see all that well when he was being a baby.

“Emily's doll's the baby.”
