Big Belly Laugh
Grant Hope #36
“Hey love!” said dad, knowing the lead he was about to take. “Our baby is getting pretty big. Do you think he’ll have that lovely schnouzel-snout of yours?”
Playfully glaring with a wide grin, mom retorts, “That nose will be for telling you when you stink!”
Taken aback with a jolly step
thrown asunder with mom’s humorous return
dad quips
“Well, as long as I have the bad jokes, I guess I can take some old spice.”
Snorting at the clever banter
she has the last laugh
looking down at her belly and staring through to the child she wraps in her arms
she says
“I guess I’ll need some garlic to scare away da scary vampire. He just swucks da life out of me with all these puny puns.”
Dad can’t help but be impressed. Her belly is as big as her laugh. He is sure as the sun shines straight down her hair, their child will grow up to be strong, righteous, and free…and funny. Taking hands, they walk through this field dreaming, and sharing stinky taunts.
