Addy burst into laughter, falling back onto the grass with a thud. "Noah's toast!"
Rosalynn, not understanding, frowned. "You can't laugh, Addy. I worked really hard to get an A+. It's supposed to be a gift for you!"
Pouting, she thrust a pinwheel into her mother's hands. "You're mean, I don't wanna be friends with you anymore!" With that, she turned to run away.
But Addy caught her in a swift motion, pulling her into a warm embrace and peppering her chubby cheeks with kisses. "Oh, that won't do. Rosa, you have to be Mommy's friend forever."
Rosalynn was easy to appease.
After a couple of kisses from her mother, she giggled and reached out her plump little hand to gently grasp a lock of her mother's luscious dark hair.d2
Her mother's hair was stunning, much nicer than Mrs. Thompson's next door, and it always smelled so good.
In the evening, her grandma cooked up a feast, as if it were Thanksgiving.
Before dinner, after a warm bath, Rosalynn changed into an outfit Grandma had made just for her. It was a floral dress with matching pants, and Grandma had even bought her a new pair of pink sandals that complimented her outfit perfectly.
Rosalynn was over the moon.
They feasted heartily, much to the amusement of the adults, who chuckled from time to time.
After supper, Rosalynn's belly was round and full. The family of four sat in the yard by the wisteria, with Grandpa and Grandma gently fanning the air with palm leaf fans under the starry night sky.
Rosalynn stared at the stars and suddenly said, "When you grow up, the stars seem to drift away. I haven't seen such a beautiful night sky in so long."
She paused, surprised at her own words, then she suddenly looked to her sides.
