The words this week are. ' Wrinkles are hereditary. People get them from their children' I wondered where mine had come from, now I know.
Celia or Auntie Celia if you are the children you see on this page, are outside with their Mums sister and they would rather be inside playing on their iPads. Celia had other ideas. First of all she didn't mind looking after the children, but only one at once. What she hadn't any idea what she had let herself in for when her sister turns up with all three of them and their two dogs.
Celia can't think of anything worse than all of them descending on her clean, tidy and child free house. It was spotless, so a trip outside to show the children that interesting things in nature was better than sitting inside with all their electric gadgets.
Of course they didn't agree with her, but she was very strict and they were all a little bit scared of her.
"Can we go to the play park" little Malcom asked
"After we have had a little walk first, maybe. Oh look she said, pointing towards the sky, there are still a few butterflies around and the swallows are getting ready to fly back to Africa for the Winter"she told them.
"I don't blame them, better than a cold wet Winter here" said Angie the eldest one.
After another attempt to ask about the play park Malcom decided to ask a few questions instead. First of all he asked " Why do people have wrinkles on their face when some people don't"
"Well, your mum has wrinkles because wrinkles are hereditary and people get them from their children. I don't have any children therefore I don't have any wrinkles" she answered.
Quite satisfied with that answer the children all said in that case they were not going to have any children themselves.
I am linking this to Neets theme of It must have wings on Art Journal Journey

Two brilliant pages and a lovely very clever story. I love how you have started writing these books now.
Hope all is well, when I get home I will ring you,
Hugs, Neet xx
Celia's nieces and nephews would not keep her house clean. That's a truth. But you made a super spread with the outside view and them all going walking. I love how you added the dogs too. This is a super page for Neet's AJJ theme and for your weekly quote challenge too. Thanks for joining in, and have a wonderful weekend ahead. hugs-Erika
An amusing story about wrinkles!
Your characters are once again imaginative on the subject!
Hugs Elke
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Those children and their electronic devices were better off outside rather than messing up Celia's spotless home. I love how you wove the story around both your challenge and Neet's theme at AJJ. Great job on both.
