Author's Note:
I've had this paragraph on my WP for months and -- despite the fact that I like it -- I can't seem to do anything with it. So I'm gonna toss it out as a prompt. Rules: Minimum 200 words (not counting prompt), Maximum 500 words (NCP). Wide open otherwise. Have fun!


The hole in mommy's head contracts and expands according to temperature. This is a fact. I have verified it through observation and experiment. I've had to be careful, of course: mommy is no fool. If she caught me at my studies she'd be more than irate. This is also a fact.
