The Sheet

On a cold day in Alaska somewhere, mommy can I go outside to play? No you may not, because it is to cold. But I want to play said Kelly. Kelly is about 5 years old, 4 feet tall with black curls running to her mother. If I let you go play outside you will get frost bite. What is frostbite mommy? Kelly asked happily. Her mother watched her and laughed, remembering how curious she was when she was Kelly’s age. When you go in the cold and do not keep warm, your hand, and feet act. Kelly’s mother was tickling her when she was explaining. Then her mother turned serious and said you can die. So what I am going to do? Use your imagination, said her mother. What is an imagtion? Kelly trying to pronounce the world. It is make believe, said Mother. Then Kelly’s mother walks over to the dinning table and sits in the chair, and put her hand on table. Right now I am driving boat 50 miles on the lake. Mommy we do not have a boat. That’s the beautiful about imagination this table can be a car , boat, tank ect. Just let your mind run and have some fun. Get the idea Kelly? I think so mommy. The blizzard outside was blowing so hard, it sound like wolfs howling..
Kelly went to her room and closed the door. What can I use for my imagtion? She looked in her closet, in her dressing drawers, and under the bed. Kathy could not come up with anything to use. Then she saw the sheet in the middle of the floor, and she got an Idea. She jumped on the sheet, and imagined she was diving in the ocean. Hello beautiful fish she said, with a smile. There was a big surprise on her face look at that big whale. She played she was swimming in the ocean for a few more minutes. She got up move the chair from her desk and throws the sheet over it. I am an Indian in my teepee sleeping. She got another sheet, and pretends she was sleeping in her tent. Then she went out her tent, pretending she was cooking food. She got all her dolls, and put around the fire and started to make Indian noises. Her mother came to check on her. Kelly, Kelly, Kelly where are you? I am here mommy. Is some thing wrong? No, what are you doing? I have not here from you in 2 hours. I am using my imagtion. Her mother smiled, and asked if she was having fun. I am having lots of fun mommy. Okay, I will come and get you in three hours to have dinner. Okay mommy and Kelly went back to her playing.

Kelly took her sheet, and tied it around her neck. I am super Kelly I am strong as superman, but I am prettier. She ran in the kitchen, look mommy. Her mother look, and who are you suppose to be? I am supper Kelly. Do you have any trouble mommy? Why Kelly her mother asked? Because I am a super hero and I am suppose to help you. Really said mommy. Yes mommy with a big smile on her face. Then go to the fridge, and get me two tomatoes and a green pepper. Mommy not that type of help. But you will be helping me mommy said. Just this once, I am supposed to fight bad guys not getting food. Her mother started to laugh, and Kelly ran to her bedroom. She pretends to save people from a fire. Then super Kelly saved people from the ocean. Who should I save next? Then Kelly started to feel tired. Super Kelly better take a nap before she saves anybody else. This imagtion thing is a lot of work. She went to bed and slept for a while. Her mother came to check on her, and leave her a lone to sleep. Kelly and her sheet had many more adventures in her dreams.
