The Curious Child

The curious child sits in the back of her father's car .

Clicking her fingers and kicking her father's seat .

" Sophie please stop kicking my seat , we haven't got long now ."

She tilts her head against the window and watches her world pass by .

Daddy

"Yes Sophie ."

Why is the sky blue ?

"Erm , I don't know my little flower . "

Daddy

"Yes ..."

Why do cows go moo ?

Erm ...

Daddy

"What is it Sophie ?" He says , a little irritated .

Why is that man in the car next to us , waving his middle finger at you ?

" What ! ... because he is very rude and not normal , that's why !"

Oh Ok . Daddy .

"Now what Sophie ?"

Why is that man crossing the road , putting his hand on that woman's bottom ?

" Erm , erm . Oh look a gas station ! Lets pull over and buy you a note pad , some crayons and sweeties .

Yeah sweeties !!!

He pulls over fills up his car and takes Sophie with him to pay for the petrol ,

note pad , crayons and sweets . They walk back over to the car , get in and drive off .

"Ok my little flower , here's what I want you to do . Write down all your questions in this notepad for me . Daddy has to concentrate on where he is going from now ."

Oh no daddy ! Are we lost ?

" Not at all , I just chose a longer road ."

Ohhh ok !

" This stupid map doesn't make any sense at all !"

Do you want a sweetie daddy ?

" No thank you , my little flower . Please don't make a mess in the car ok ."

Ok daddy . Are we there yet ?

" Soon my little flower , very soon ."

Two hours pass by . Sophie is sleeping . The car stops and her father opens the back door and picks her up into his arms . He locks the door behind him and carries her into the house and puts her to bed . He kisses her on the head .

The curious child is fast asleep and a new day awaits her . Filled with new adventures and questions .

The end .
