Prompt Word: Pop
Minervie and Chip 30
Seeing how completely bored Chip was, the third bridesmaid came over to Chip, “Hey, what’s your name?”
Putting on the best of what he was taught, Chip replied nervously, “My namish Chip, nice to meethu.”
“Why hello Chip, my name is Mina. Would you like to come dance with me?”
“I don’t know how,” Chip shyly replied.
“Haha, I don’t expect you too, come along,” Mina grabbed his little hand.
Chip felt that worry about doing the wrong thing by going along with, but also the worry of not doing what an adult was telling him to. He looked up at Minervie who seemed to be happy about the prospect of him going along, so walked along with Mina towards the dance floor full of mostly strangers.
Once they got to the dance floor, Mina leaned far down, to hold both of his hands, and she started swaying back and forth to the beat of the pop music.
Chip swung his body back and forth to match Mina’s lead, but kept his feet planted firmly, as following with his arms was the best he could do to keep up. Soon enough, the bride swooped in and picked Chip up bodily, and started dancing while holding him against her waist. At this point, Chip was a little scared from this stranger treating him like a doll in front of this big crowd that was now watching them both.
As the song ended, Minervie was there to collect Chip, “Karen, you scared him a bit. He doesn’t know you or really understand yet,” Minervie leaned in close and whispered, “You’ll start to understand childrens better in about 5 months, I ‘spect.” Karen’s eyes went very wide, and Minervie announced loudly, “We must be going, to get Chip to bed at a decent hour.”
