A Dotty Conversation
by Melanie Hill
I’m a dot.
No you’re not!
Yes I am.
Well, prove it.
I have curves.
You’ve got a nerve.
No I don’t.
Well, prove it.
See my shape.
Like a crepe?
That’s not round.
Yes it is.
Well, what are you?
I’m a spot.
No you’re not…

Melanie says: The dots (or spots) reminded my of my children and how they are so similar but different. They also argue about everything and nothing, just like the dots (or spots).
