A Gnome Tale

Once upon the time there lived a little gnome...

 He so enjoyed playing outside, that when momma gnome made him come inside, his pointed head showed his disappointment.

 He tried to hide in the Miscellaneous drawer in the kitchen, but his momma still found him.

So he decided to teach her a lesson.  He ate oatmeal with his fingers, making more laundry for her.

 And then he stood up in his high chair for the gazillionth time, to give her yet another gray hair.

But in the end, when all was said and done, he still loved his momma.  He grabbed a good book, sat in her lap, and snuggled with her.

The End.

For now.
