My First Words

By Sarah Durand

  Sweet milk, it was just too tempting. 

  I was sitting on the floor, a big leather chair looming ahead of me. At first I was just innocently playing with a silly rainbow circle that made noise when I shook it, but I quickly grew tired of that and looked around me for something that promised more entertainment. 

  That was when I saw it – a long pair of legs coming out of the kitchen. 

  There was nothing strange in that of course, as a matter of fact, it was a daily occurrence (especially with this particular pair of legs – they were always in and out of the kitchen, all day long). 

  But when the legs came over to the leather chair and sat down in it, the trouble began.
