Your tips on not using the adult really threw my plans for a loop! But I have fallen inlove with the idea of Grannas sidekick becoming the silly focus of my stories.  Heres my go at the project, feedback is welcomed.

Opal sat playing with the frilly little bow Granna put around her neck this morning, as she did every morning. She twirled it through her feathers while she watched Granna cut strawberries for her famous marmalade. The only exciting thing was the pot starting to boil on the stove. They have been in the kitchen for AGES, she thought. Opal just could not hide it any longer-from her bill to her bum she was plum bored.


Thank you!
