Story Behind the Story - Chicken Maggot
Kids say the darnest things. As adults, we think we have heard it all. Then a child opens his mouth and proves us entirely wrong. This is what happened that was the basis for my short story - The Chicken Maggot. You can find it here - https://writerrebeccagraf.com/writing....
Some great stories can come from real life events. My children always made me laugh. They say things that I never thought of. My adult mind is restricted based on what society has dictated. A child's mind is wide open. They don't have restrictions aside from what they are aware of. Every moment is a time of new discovery. Makes me laugh so much. They also help keep our egos in check as it did in this short story. My husband puffed himself up, and our daughter burst it hard. We laugh about this quite often.
I hope you have time to read this story and comment on similar situations you have had. Enjoy and laugh.
