10. Goldi

She showed up on his doorstep, frazzled and lost.  Nobody home.  She made herself comfortable.  Too comfortable.  When he and his parents returned, they were (predictably) not happy.  Good thing she was beautiful.

    1. thanks! I have 2 sons (ages 5 and 8) and how much you wanna bet that at least one of them marries a girl like this? (I'd better mentally prepare myself ahead of time.........)

  7. Thanks for linking up this weekend. I love how you have the bears as being predictably unhappy. Not only is it predictable because, really, who would be happy about the situation, but also because predictability and repetition kind of rule in this story, don't they? Nicely done. Hope to see you back on Monday.
