Before realizing that I'd already posted it to this blog thirteen years ago, I was thinking of posting Bea's story "A Mother's Love," which happens to be another one that I thought might be a decent candidate for using as the basis for a short comic. I actually lifted a line out of that one for one of my own comics once. That story would be an interesting one to adapt, since it's written entirely as one side of a conversation, which would require me to add some new dialogue, though I don't believe that would be too big a challenge. If I ever do turn one of Bea's stories into a comic instead of just endlessly pondering the possibility, it would undoubtably involve some rewriting, no matter what story I picked. Anyway, since I already shared that story, here's another one of Bea's that, as far as I can tell, no one has posted to the blog before.

She held up a warning hand that stopped me moving.
"Was that a naughty look I saw?" She asked sweetly. "Were you indicating that you didn't want to come and sit on my lap? Have you forgotten so soon?"
I shook my head, grinned placatingly; shame faced at my own weakness, and started walking towards her again. When I reached the couch, I lowered myself to sit on her lap. Her arm then snaked around my shoulder, and pulled me down so that my head rested on her breast.
