More short cute-ness :D
"Mommy! Mommy! Look!" A little girl, about 3 years old, whispered to her mother, who was cooking.
Her mother bent down and tousled her daughter's brown hair that was everywhere, even under the tan hat on her head. "Honey, what are you doing with daddy's hat?"
The girl giggled. "Took it." She grabbed the hat off of her head as if to show Mommy what she had done. Her unruly hair had curls to it, and it seemed to have a mind of its own. She was the picture of her father, as her mother always thought. Even the chocolate brown eyes, that were so expressive, were all his.
"Hatter's little girl," Alice often thought. But, she knew that without his beloved hat, Hatter would wake up soon from his nap.
"Why'd you take daddy's hat?" She asked her daughter.
"Funny to take daddy's hat!" She laughed.
Stirred by his daughter's laugh, Hatter woke up. "Where's my Hat? Alice!" He walked out to the kitchen, and the child ran, wildly laughing. "Ellie!" He cried, now teasing more than anything. He ran after her, laughing along with her.
He caught Ellie in his arms and grabbed the hat out of her hand. He threw it up, and Ellie watched in wonder when it came back down seconds later. "Yay Daddy! Do it again!" She clapped as Hatter threw it back up. This time it landed on Ellie's messy curls and her daddy gave her a large kiss. "Love you, Ellie." He set her on the sofa, and walked back out to where Alice stood, laughing at the two people she cared most for.
"You know, love? I think we'll need to get her one of those soon so she'll stop taking mine." He kissed her cheek, and went to start tea.
Alice just smiled.
