Prompt Word: Pant
Minervie and Chip 24
“Good Morning, Chip. Outdoor clothes today, we’re going together into the wood,” Minervie said, and then headed to the kitchen to make breakfast.
A few minutes later Chip came to the kitchen wearing tall socks and cargo shorts, “Morning grandma.”
She turned her head, “Nie, nie, Chip. Too cold outside for that, that short pant, wear long jeans. The socks are good though. Hurry, the eggs are going down now.”
Chip clomped back to his room, in the way only reluctant kids can do, and complained quietly, “but I like these shorts.”
Minervie was plating ham and eggs, and chip came back, now wearing his cargo shorts over a pair of jeans. Minervie stared, almost decided to not say anything, but then decided to say something anyway, “Now Chip, this is fine for the wood, but you need to understand, you look silly, like you have no sense.”
“Huh?” Chip was surprised by the assessment, “The pockets are too small.”
Minervie was not sure what to make of this statement, and decided to ignore it. “We are going to the woods to practice another magic… on your old treant friend.”
“An old treant is my friend?” Chip asked, feeling like he forgot something.
Minervie answered, “Oh, yes. You did not mean to, but you gave him a name, and he is bound to you now. He was hurt, and you will practice to heal.”
