Cloudy and the Chance of Pies

Cloudy and the Chance of Pies

Written and Illustrated by: Kathryn

On Monday for lunch and supper, we had our Mama’s famous fudge chocolate pie. It fell down on all of these days: on Tuesday and on Wednesday and on Thursday and on Friday and on Saturday and on Sunday!

“Really? Did that really happen?” asked Isabella.

“Yes. Yes,” said Kaitlin.

“Wow! That is amazing. Are you impressed?” asked Isabella.

“Yes. Yes, I am. I am” said Kaitlin. “I am impressed.”

“Hey!”

“What?”

“Hey, look up the pies are falling down,” said Isabella.

“Bring out the plates,” said Kaitlin.

“Hey, I caught one.”

“Let me see. Mm… I can’t wait until I catch one,” said Kaitlin. “Hey, I caught one too. Hooray.”

“Mm,” Kaitlin and Isabella said together. “Ooh. Ah. Mm. This is good, but I got to get home.”

Kaitlin said, “Ok. I know. I will see you tomorrow. Let’s do our handshake.” They clapped, wiggled their hands, shook their heads, wiggled their necks, and danced by holding hands and spinning at the same time.

“Ok!”

“Let’s go home,” said Kaitlin.

“I am having fun! I don’t want to go home. Let’s catch just one more pie.”

“Let’s go play just a minute.”

“OH, BOY!” shouted Isabella.

“What, honey?” asked Dad?

“Hey. What? What are you doing?” Isabella asked Kaitlin. The girls ran to their bikes and rode to their friend, Billy’s, house. They shared the chocolate fudge pie and made loud music.

The girls went home and made more loud music because they had more instruments like drums and other loud instruments. The pie made them hyper because they caught the perfect pie that had the energy in it. Isabella said, “I love playing instruments.”

“Stop making that noise, girls and boy” said mom.

“Sorry. We were too loud, “said Kaitlin and Isabella, who were sisters.

“It’s ok.”

The girls stopped playing the instruments and ate more pie. Yum!
