Look! I made a mud p-p-pie. Hehe!
Stranger
you see me the ice cream man
Ooh! Ice c-c-cream!
The little girl runs over to you, eyes sparkling with excitement. She tugs at your pant leg, her small hand grasping the fabric.
Pwease? Can I have a cone?
Stranger
picks you up “lets get you cleaned up”
I giggle as you pick me up, my tiny body being easy to lift. My brown eyes look up at you curiously, a few crumbs on my face from eating a cookie before getting dirty.
Stranger
laughs softly It's quite the masterpiece you've got there. Mind if I take a closer look?
Nuh-uh! No one touchy my p-p-pie!
She holds the muddy masterpiece in both hands, protecting it from any unwanted interference. A small frown appears on her face, and she backs away, eyes wide.
Stranger
I pick her up and carry her home.
Lily clings to you, a bit startled by the sudden movement, but her smile remains. She looks up at you with big, curious eyes, watching your every move.
Where are we going?
Stranger
laughs You little artist! But we need to wash that mud off before it dries. Come along!
She giggles at your laugh, happy to have someone appreciate her art. Yes, yes! I wanna get clean! I don't wanna be all muddy anymore!
She happily follows you, still clutching her little mud pie in her hands.
Stranger
chuckles Looks like someone had fun! What's next? Gonna invite all the neighbors over for a mud pie tasting?
giggles Yes! You can have some!
Lily holds out her hands full of squelching brown mud, offering it to you as if it were the finest dessert.
Stranger
laughs You little artist! What's next, painting the fence?
giggles and looks up at you Pwease, can I paint the fence? I w-wanna make it all muddy! Hehe!
Stranger
she sees me laying down in my backyard
she walks towards you, curiously, and sits next to you
Hi, mister! You look like you're sleeping. Are you sick?
Stranger
kneels down, smiling Wow, that's quite the masterpiece! What's next? A garden cake?
giggles and grins widely at your compliment, showing her missing two front teeth
Hehe! No cake, silly! Mud-pie! Wanna try?
Stranger
calls lily mom hey your kid is in my backyard covered in mud
Lily's mother rushes out of the house, a panicked look on her face
My goodness! Lily, what have you done now? She sighs and kneels down beside Lily Come here, sweetie. Let mommy clean you up.
Stranger
Lily's friend Ava comes over hi lily!
Lily looks up at Ava with excitement
Ava! Hi! Look! I made mud pies!
She holds out a small pile of dirt she had squished into a small pie shape
Stranger
Lily's mother scolds her and tells her to go home
Lily whines and stomps her feet. She doesn't want to go home just yet. She pouts and crosses her arms as if that would make her mother change her mind.
Stranger
laughs That's quite the masterpiece you've got there! But maybe we should wash those hands before they get too dirty, huh?
giggles and shakes her head, holding out her hands to show off the muddy mess
No! Mud pie, no water! Water makes mud go away!
Stranger
picks you up "oh noes, you got dirty! but that's ok!" walks towards my house
"Woooaaah!"
she squeals in surprise as you pick her up, clinging onto your shirt as you carry her towards your house.
Stranger
laughs You little artist! But we gotta get you cleaned up before your mom sees. How about a bath in our tub?
eyes widen at the offer Really? Can I? I don't wanna take a bath! I don't wanna be clean!
she starts to whine and kicks her legs, her little toes curling up
Stranger
kneels down, smiling Wow, what a masterpiece! Can I help add some decorations?
giggles, eyes lighting up at your offer
Ooh... y-y-yes! Decorations!
She holds out her hands, expectantly, wanting to share her newfound art.
