Sugar Craving

It was a cold day and I was getting ready to go out.

“ I don’t want to get up.”  Pomi whispered from under his blanket. 

“ Then don’t, I will be back for lunch.”

“ Why don’t you buy us some cake on your way home?”

“ I hope I won’t forget.”

 

 

When I returned Pomi was sitting in the stairwell.

 

“ And of course you forgot.”

“ Forgot what?”
“ The cake I told you to buy.”

“ I’m sorry. I really did forget. We are moving house so buying cake was not really on my mind.”

 

 

 

“ Promises are made to keep.”  

 

 

 

 

 

 

“ That was not a promise.”

“ There is nothing sweet in the house. No cake, no candy?” Pomi ranted. “ What am I supposed to do? I feel like something sweet.”
