Lady Mommy and the Frozen Yogurt

Once upon a time, Lady Mommy, Sir Daddy, and Baby Eamon were riding in a carriage for a very long time. At the half-way point of the trip, Sir Daddy stopped to feed and rest the horses, while Lady Mommy went to find some special treat to celebrate the progress. She found some frozen yogurt and got a serving for each of them, even though the serving for Baby Eamon was a little big. She thought that she and Sir Daddy would enjoy finishing up what Baby Eamon didn't want to eat.

Baby Eamon was not happy that he did not get to be free from his seat, and when they all got back on the road, he made sure everyone knew how unhappy he was. He whined and fussed and cried and his frozen yogurt did not make him happier. This frustrated Lady Mommy because not only was her baby grumpy, but the frozen yogurt was beginning to melt and drip over the edge of the container. All Baby Eamon wanted was his Nuk, which he happened to drop in a very difficult to reach place.

So Lady Mommy set down the frozen yogurt and reached to get the Nuk. Unfortunately, she leaned right into the frozen yogurt. It soaked through all layers of clothing and was sticky and messy and gross. And Baby Eamon still kept fussing. Now Lady Mommy was not happy. She felt like she couldn't move without getting anything else sticky, but everything she touched was already sticky.

Sir Daddy was driving the carriage and did not understand why Lady Mommy was so unhappy, but there was a resting place just down the road, where they planned to stop. Since Lady Mommy refused to do anything with Baby Eamon until she changed her shirt, Sir Daddy got Baby Eamon and let him run around. Then when he saw Lady Mommy's shirt covered with frozen yogurt, and her undershirt also covered with frozen yogurt, he began to be more sympathetic, but didn't laugh until Lady Mommy had a clean shirt and she was able to laugh about it too.

Lady Mommy ate all her frozen yogurt and much of Baby Eamon's too. She might have let Sir Daddy have a bite or two, but she can't remember. It was chocolate, and she needed such cool goodness to sooth her nerves.

Baby Eamon ran around for a little bit, then wanted his melted frozen yogurt. Fortunately, there was just enough left. After a much longer break than they had planned Lady Mommy, Sir Daddy, and Baby Eamon continued on their very long journey.

The End
