Day 29's theme is called 'Talent Trade'. The purpose was to take someone else's entry from any point in the month and do something else with it. Draw a new picture, write a new story, whatever.

This story is based off of a picture by tilliquoi. tumblr. com that appears to be titled 'Danny you little shit' (it's a pic of Maddie chasing a naked 4 year old Danny down the hallway)


Perils of Nudity

Maddie Fenton grabbed a towel and headed out into the backyard. She hoped they wouldn't need it, they had somewhere they had to be in half an hour. But Jack, well... She loved the dear but sometimes he didn't think very far ahead. One would hope after being a father for six years he'd have learned by now that when the kids were all dressed up and ready to go somewhere they weren't supposed to be let out into the backyard to "play".

Especially not a four year old boy near the end of the rainy season.

splish. splash splish.

Maddie sighed and rolled her eyes, resolving to yell at Jack later. For the moment...

She snuck up behind the naked little boy sitting in the mud puddle. He splashed his hands against the watery surface before grabbing handfuls of mud to pile it in front of him. And then right before she was going to catch him with the towel he looked up and gave her a toothy little grin.

"Hi Sweetie," Maddie said. "I heard Daddy let you outside to play."

Danny nodded.

"Didn't I tell you that you needed to stay clean for our trip to Aunt Alicia's place?"

Danny pointed to his clothes. "I took 'em off," he said. "Ta keep 'em clean. They're all clean, Mama."

Maddie caught him with the towel and picked up her squirming baby boy. "Yes but you're a mess!"

Danny wiggled as he tried to get down. He didn't want to go inside, going inside meant-

"Now you need a bath!"

The long scream of "NOOOOOO" followed them into the house.
