Teensy Tiny Tales

French Fries

“Is your friend enjoying his supper, Billy?”

“I told you, Mom, he only likes french fries.”

“He needs vegetables, too. Even invisible friends can get fat.”

Fat?!? She’s lucky she can’t see the face I’m making at her. Why do humans eat such disgusting things? Broccoli? Spinach? Blecch.

Until I get my ship repaired, I have to make do. Billy tries to help, but he’s hampered by this “Mom” person who restricts his access to fried foods and power tools.

Life is funny. One day you’re a free-wheeling extraterrestrial exploring the galaxy, and the next you’re just an imaginary friend.
