Happy Sunny Day | Fictional Short Story

This is Sunny. Okay actually her full name is Surya Eliana Cyrus ... all of which means sun, hence the nickname Sunny. She is a free-spirited girl who has a passion for playing outdoors, catching butterflies during the day and lighting bugs at night. Sunny is not quite old enough for school but she is, as her Nana always says, "smart as a whip" and "one tough

cookie". Sunny isn't quite sure how you know if a whip is smart since she has yet to find one that could answer any questions. As for the tough cookie thing, she's not really certain about that because she much prefers warm, soft cookies over tough old cookies. Her Nana says that they are compliments but Sunny still isn't completely sure. She loves learning new things especially when she and Nana take one of Great Grandma Gwendolyn's really old quilts into the backyard and spread it out wide, so there is plenty of room for Sunny and seven of her favorite toys, under the old willow tree and a BIG pile of books. Sometimes they will just read and read the entire day and Sunny will wake up as her PePaw is carrying her into the house just in time for supper and then a bath before getting in her favorite nighty pajamas that Great Grandma Gwendolyn made special just for her. Her nighty is extra special because it is made from a bunch of the jammies Sunny wore as a baby. Her Nana will tuck her into bed and Sunny will choose a square of fabric and Nana will tell her a story about when Sunny was a baby and what she did in those jammies. Most of the stories are happy or even silly and make Sunny laugh and laugh. Other times the stories make Sunny sad because her Mommy is part of the story. Sunny doesn't have many memories of her Mommy because one afternoon Mommy told Nana that she "needed to go for a drive" ... something Sunny has never understood but Nana just says it's one of those things grown-ups say. That was 4 years, 2 months, 3 weeks, and 5 days ago and Sunny figures that her Mommy must still be driving and someday she will turn around and come back to Sunny. In the meantime Sunny plans to enjoy storytime with Nana, catching butterflies,  and having tea parties with her favorite stuffed animals.
