The Rocking Chair

Picture a little redheaded girl about 6 years old. She has grown up sisters so she has to learn to play by herself. That's okay because she has a very active imagination. In her room her mom lets her have a rocking chair just her size. Her mom tells her that all of her sissies got to play with this rocking chair and now it's her turn. She uses it to play house and school with her Cabbage Patch dolls.

One day she has a friend over to play. Her friend is naughty and talks the redhead girl into drawing and writing names on the rocking chair. The girl gets in trouble and has to put up with having ugly markings on the pretty chair. Not only does the chair have writing on it, but then one of the arms comes loose. Luckily her daddy fixes the arm and strips the chair so all the ugly drawings come off. She keeps that chair in her room until she is all grown up and leaves the house.

Now that the little girl is a mommy and has two brand new baby girls she misses that chair. But in a couple of days that rocking chair is coming to live at her house. Now two sweet little twin girls can grow up playing house and school with that same chair their mommy and aunts played with. And knowing these girls mommy and daddy, it will probably have to be stripped and mended. One day maybe when the little red headed girl turns into a Grandmommy she will still have that rocking chair for her Grandbabies to play in.
