“Ahhh!” yelled David.
“You’re not my mom! You’re an imposter!”
“I am not an imposter!” David’s mom said, laughing. “I just changed my hairstyle!”
David was not convinced.
So his mom wrapped her arms around him.
“Oh, you are my mom,” said David, smiling.
Because nobody hugs like mom.
This is a story I wrote in 49 words for a writing contest called #50preciouswords. I did not win or receive any honorable mention, but I still think it’s sweet enough for a home here on my blog. Maybe I’m just biased because this is a true story, but I kinda liked mine the best. (Also, it’s a huge challenge to write a whole story in 50 words or under! The contest rules included that the story had to have a beginning, middle, end, and a plot.)
