Small Talk #1

by

Someone's pushing me. I don't like being pushed. That's probably going to be the story of my life from now on.

Been pretty good so far, apart from feeling a bit cramped. Haven't had to worry about anything at all. Now though I'm like toothpaste, whatever that is, being squeezed through a nozzle that's far too small.

"Would someone stop yelling out there!"

Schloop!

Oh!... that's odd! What am I doing out here? Bit chilly! What's this? Hung upside down by my feet. And someone just slapped my arse!

"Oi, that's child abuse!" If only I knew my rights!

"Aaaaaaahhhh!"

    Thanks, Drew, you read my mind! Whilst it's not exactly anthropomorphising baby, as it's human!...the idea of giving it a voice should be fun (and Hollywood has had quite a few smash hits with such a concept!). I also plan to do the other end of the age spectrum, POSSIBLY, but done with great care, a perspective from a dementure sufferer, but maybe that's too sick a concept?

    Gosh Drew, thank you so much for your most generous comments. I am this time overwhelmed! I hope I can live up to your billing! The babies series I think I'll call Small Talk. I'll start the older person's series later...because pretty soon Amy has to start writing and Rufus has to start running!

    Thanks very much, Frenchie. I'm planning more tiny perspectives. :-)
