365 Days of Drabbles: Day Forty-Five

For [livejournal.com profile] colliemommie: "Growing pains"


"Argh! Father, this driving me mad," Meribeth moaned, scratching at her scalp. Which utterly hurt, but at least it distracted her from the awful itching.

"Meribeth, if you keep clawing at your head like that, I'll tie your hands behind your back," her father warned. Which made Meribeth very quickly pull her hands down and put them both primly in her lap. Mother might joke about that sort of thing, Papa Tez would go through with it.

"When is it going to stop?" she demanded.

"When your horns finish growing in. Now stop scratching and let me apply this salve."

Stop scratching and let me make it better is a good response. :)

Better than some others.

"Tez, why is my daughter tied to a chair?"
