“Dad, can we go to the Children’s Park today?” Jeremy asked.
Greg had been promising his son, Jeremy, that they could go to the Children’s Park in the Town Square during the weekend for a while now.
“Get your stuff together. Let’s go, son,” Greg said.
When Greg and Jeremy got to the Children’s Park, Jeremy cried, “Look, Dad, something new!” He ran toward a number of large, wooden statues that had been placed in a central location in the park. There were even statues of green Martian men. Jeremy played while Greg purchased a replica of a statue for him.
A tired Jeremy and Greg arrived home in the late afternoon. Jeremy put his statue in his room. Right before he went to bed, there was a loud knock at the door. Greg answered. It was the large green Martian statue.
In a loud voice, the statue said, “Where is my child?”
Jeremy ran to his room, grabbed the small statue, and threw it at him!

Hahaha! I guess that means Greg and Jeremy won’t be going back to the children’s park anytime soon! LOL! Cute story Rosemary!

Creative take! Now I wonder what that big alien did to the guy who *sold* his child to the tourist — he must be pretty angry about that!

Maybe parent alien should have realized sooner that kiddo alien had been put up for sale.

This was fun. Maybe the aliens come to life in the night. Jeremy seems like a smart kid. He didn’t want a little alien buddy
