“It was a dragon Mommy, breathing fire. Wherever he went, things started melting. The blades of the fan crumpled, the paint peeled away…”
“Are you quite finished, young man?”
“You don’t understand Mommy. I HAD to turn on the hose-pipe, and attack him with water.”
“Full marks for creativity Timothy, but you DID destroy the house in my absence. Two weeks detention.”
“Maybe it was a good thing,” Timothy thought to himself as he trudged back to his room,”that I didn’t tell Mommy about the eggs that the dragon had dropped in her bathtub when I hit it with water.”

What a naughty child! She will find it eventually…. Then he better watch out
Thank you so much Meena
Are the eggs still inside the bathtub?
Not for too long. Rush, before Mommy gets into the bath 🙂
Fun story. I like conversation; it lends itself to short stories.
I wonder what will happen when Mommy steps into the bathtub
I have absolutely no idea 🙂
he must be really a sweetheart to get away with it a punishment that can be considered like a slap on the wrist. 🙂
Haaaw, why do you want a poor boy to get harsh punishment? Very bad 🙂
Are the eggs going to hatch before Mommy arrives? Cuteness this one.
Thank you so much Natasha
Hahahaha.
Such a lovely story.
Superb storytelling, Anurag.
Thank you so much Moon
I hope those were imaginary eggs. Lovely tale.
I have absolutely no idea Sandra. Only Timothy knows, and even his own mother doesn’t trust him 🙂
The dragon eggs were a masterly touch. A delicious imagining
Thank you so much Neil
Erm, the eggs? That’s worrying! 🙂

Yes, though not sure for whom? 🙂
Loved the eggs in the bath! Made me smile all over my face! And we still don’t know whether or not the dragon was imaginary…
Thank you so much Penny. And yes, even I have absolutely no clue 🙂
Parents have a way of seeing through the most creative of excuses. Especially when there are dragons involved!
But what if he was telling the truth? Very cynical of you I must say 🙂
🙂
2 weeks detention? That’s all for destroying the house? Lordy, what will she do when she finds the egg?. Fun story, Anurag.
You too want harsher punishment? What’s wrong with the world? 🙂
Destroyed the house?
It’s just a thing, you know 🙂
Hah!
I like it that she gave Timothy marks for creativity. Perhaps he’ll become an author someday.
Maybe he already is. 🙂
You captured the relationship perfectly!
Thank you so much Clara
Timothy either has a vivid imagination or there’s more trouble brewing! Excellent.
A-Z of My Friend Rosey!
Thank you so much Keith
Oh no! Naughty child. That was fun to read. 🙂

A brilliant fun read.
Thank you so much Lisa Rey
Mom is in for an eggsiting time. Hope she gets the yolk. Fun story.
Thank you so much Subroto. Btw, I was facing some problems commenting on your blog a couple of days ago. Will try visiting again 🙂
Eggcellent. 🙂
Ha ha ha. Thank you so much yarnspinnerr
Uh oh, I sense a cracking sequel to this story! Well done.
Thank you so much.
I see more hell to pay!
Ha ha ha. Thank you so much Alicia.
I love this. Mum will be delighted when she finds the eggs, I’m sure.
Thank you so much
LOL. Mum is in for a shock.
Thank you so much Irene
Dear Anurag,
I’d say his mom has a sense of humor. But will she still think he’s creative when she finds the eggs in the bathtub? Perhaps they’ll hatch. 😉 Cute story.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you so much Rochelle.
Put me in mind of Calvin and Hobbes–creative child who drove his poor mom to distraction 🙂
Thank you so much Granonine, that was certainly my inspiration.
cute story.
By any chance were they green eggs. And was there ham?
Randy
Ha ha ha, I am absolutely ‘Klueless’ 🙂
Ooh! Wait till she sees the eggs!!
Eggjaktly 🙂
Obviously the house wasn’t totally destroyed!
Mothers, you know, always prone to exaggeration 🙂
Oh dear, naughty child and there will be hell to pay when she sees the eggs
Engrossing fun read – no one ever listens to Timothy, until it is too late.
Oh, dear – lots more trouble to come then. Lovely tale
Thank you so much Lynn
My pleasure
