I should have known better...

The first meeting of the month, The Lamplighter's Writing Group reads a prompt rather than from their portfolio. Sometimes the prompt is done during the meeting, sometimes the prompt is given the week before.
December's prompt was 'I should have known better....'
I didn't feel like bearing my soul, although many did. A children's book, "The King, the Mice and the Cheese" by Nancy and Eric Gurney came to mind. I decided to have fun and present the prompt using the pictures from this book. For your pleasure, I drew pictures, now you know why I hired an illustrator for my picture book, "Ten Little Gator Eggs."
Anyway, here's my answer to the prompt:

I Should Have Known Better

Hopefully you enjoyed my take on this prompt. I never know where a prompt is going to go. This was fun and sure met my desire to write a fun piece that didn't require me to bear my soul.

November 2013, my picture book was published. You can find it here: "Ten Little Gator Eggs". If you'd like to download it to your device, it's available in the following formats, epub, pdf, rtf, lrf, pdb, txt, here: "Ten Little Gator Eggs".

Happy writing, even prompts.
