The prompt this week is "Toys". A bit late I know, but was sick all day yesterday and didn't feel up to being creative. Not sure I'm much better today, but here goes:
The two women seated themselves in the shade of the verandah and watched their husbands inspecting the glistening new tractor, wondering how long it would be before mud spatters besmirched the shiny red paint.
The older woman nudged her daughter-in-law and grinned at the sight of her 3 year old grandson who was following the proceedings, kicking the tyres in an experimental way, hands on hips and trying to maintain a serious face. His eyes sparkled with delight though, as he was hoisted into the cabin, his own dusty tractor tucked under one arm, forgotten momentarily.
Funny how little boys grow up but still love their toys - doesn't matter what age and they seem to form the habit from the very start :)
