My Scaredy Face by TimSevenhuysen

"I'm a monster," said my son, dangling my old Nikon camera behind his back.

"I can see that," I said. "What's your special monster power?"

"Scary faces!" he said. "I can make a scary face that makes you make a scaredy face!"

I instantly put on a poker face. "I'd like to see you try."

He puckered his face for a few seconds, then went, "Graaahh," and screwed up his eyes and stuck out his tongue.

"Eeeeeeee!!" I cried, opening my eyes and mouth as wide as I could.

As smoothly as a three-year-old can, he pulled out the camera and took a blurry picture of my "scaredy face."

"Oh no!" I said. "Now everyone will know how scared I was! You're a very scary monster."

I pretended not to help him print the picture off the computer, and pretended not to watch him stick it on the fridge, and pretended to be horribly embarrassed when I found it there.

It was a good day.

I'm done writing

Well done!
