Flower Power
“Why are you crying?” Joe asked Sandra.
Sandra was squatted near a flower bed, covering her face and sniffling. “Am not!” She yelled.
“Sounds like crying.”
“Am not!” She inhaled deeply, forcing the loose mucus back in. “I gots Al’s Gees.”
“Algae?”
“Yeah!” She stood up, wiping her face. “I looked at the flowers, but then I got some of Al’s Gees.”
“What’s that?”
“It’s when you see flowers and they get scared and they make you sneeze and stuff.”
Joe looked down at Sandra’s scraped knee. “So the sniffling has nothing to do with your knee?”
“No!!” Sandra hit him on the arm, forgetting about her knee as she ran off.
