The Little Texas Momma

When I was a little girl, my favorite story was The Little Red Hen. If you haven't read it, please, go read it now. Done? Now I want to give you my version of this story with pictures to boot!

One day, the Little Texas Momma was driving home with her children and was trying to decide what to have for dinner. She asked her children, "What shall we have for dinner?"
"I don't know" said Al
"I don't know" said The Boy
"I don't know" said The Youngest
So the Little Texas Momma decided to make stir fry.

"Who shall go to the store with me?" asked the Little Texas Momma.
"Not I" said Al
"Not I" said The Boy
"Not I" said The Youngest
So, the Little Texas Momma went to the store to buy the ingredients to make stir fry on her own.

The Little Texas Momma got home from the store to find the Little Texas Children engaged in various activities.
"Who shall help me cut the vegetables?" asked the Little Texas Momma.
"Not I" said Al
"Not I" said The Boy
"Not I" said The Youngest
Just after the Little Texas Momma got done chopping all of the vegetables, the Little Texas Daddy got home from a long day at work.
Then, the Little Texas Momma asked "Who shall help me cook the dinner?"

"Not I" said the Little Texas Daddy
"Not I" said Al
"Not I" said The Boy
"Not I" said The Youngest
And so the Little Texas Momma cooked the dinner all by herself.
When the Little Texas Momma was done making the dinner, she asked "Who shall help me eat this delicious meal?"
"I shall, I shall, I shall" said the Little Texas Children!
Being the nice Little Texas Momma that she is, she fed the sweet children but the Little Texas Daddy decided to wait a little while before eating.

The moral of the story?
Eat when everyone else does or you may end up reheating your own meal while your wife takes pictures of you!

I never liked the Little Red Hen - too passive-aggressive for me (okay, I have some issues...). In my story, at the end, no one gets to eat.
