Just Resting Your Eyes

You lay there with a gleam in your eye, but yet your quite still to the touch of a fly. You feel a tiny whisk of someone very small, they almost touch your face but then they back away and call out! Grandma are you awake or are you sleeping? You are very still and muster the courage so as not to laugh!

The voice calls out again, Grandma are you awake or are you sleeping? This time they brush your cheek ever so gently. Their lips so close to your face the cool air brings a chill. But yet you are elusive to not move even an inch. Now you feel yourself quiver as you hold back a laugh. It is not very easy to hold it back but you must.

They walk away toward the kitchen talking. I can't believe she can sleep so soundly. Those cookies smell so good. I can not hardly stand it! Don't you dare take one she will know and then will both catch it. Maybe we should try again to see if she is awake. The smell of those cookies is so delicious, my stomach is starting to ache. I just really can't wait!

Just then they heard a sigh I think Grandma is awake, lets go see. She rolls over, turns and looks up straight at me. For heaven sake how long have you been standing there? Not very long , not very long at all, Grandma. I drempt that a bug was crawling across my face. No Grandma is what not a bug at all it was just me.

I could not hold back I was almost in tears. I had to tell them that I was playing a trick on them you see. When you walked up to me I was really awake! It took all that I could do not laugh in your faces. But now the joke is over. Lets get those cookies before you bust! Does that sound good?

Yes, Grandma that would be great your cookies are so very good! They are the best.

Has that ever happen to you?
