Dreaming of Grandma!

This week's 100WCGU was inspired by my lack of sleep last night!  The prompt was the sentence "the points were sharp".

The pinpricks of consciousness broke through her sleep, and the points were sharp! 

The cry came again, “Muuuuuuuuuum!”

Wearily she slid out of bed and zombie walked into her son’s bedroom.

“whassa matter sweetie?” she slurred, trying to avoid the pitfalls of lego blocks.

“I had a bad dream!” the child in the bed sobbed, rubbing fretfully at his eyes, and sitting up, hair in disarray and covers crumpled at the base of the bed.

“It’s OK now, I’m here, I’ll scare the monsters away – invite me into your dream.”  She pulled him towards her in a special mummy cuddle.

Earlier in the day, I had been priding myself on my excellent knack of storytelling, bringing the characters to life, drawing on all my acting skills, and making the characters fromRoald Dahl's George's marvellous medicine really come to life.  However, at half past midnight last night, as Kipper was so upset about Grandma, it didnt really seem like such a good idea. 

He asked me next time I read it, can I only use expression on George please?

Thought I had better add an amendment on here: Kipper has a Grandma, Nanna and Great grandma, and none of them are like the grandma in the book - just in case there was any confusion! (Sorry mum ;-)  )
