The Ugly Sweater: A Short Story

The Ugly Sweater “Today is going to be the best day ever because today is my birthday!” Rachel said jumping on her bed several times with all of her stuffed animals flying off my in every direction making a mess. “Good morning Rachel, and happy birthday!” Rachel’s dad said jump scaring her like in horror films, she nearly hit her head on the table. “Ow! That hurt but it’s my big day and that is okay.” Rachel said with two salty tears coming down from both ends, but she smeared them away with her cozy, navy blue sweatshirt that she bundles up in a human ball. “Sorry sweety, come and eat I think that you’ll like it.” Rachel’s dad said picking her up from the ground and holding her hand to the table. “Oolala this looks so scrumptious.”
“Okay dad, I just need to pack my lunch.” Rachel said shoving her brown plastic bag into the back pocket of her backpack.
