Prompt - mason jar

Claire raised, then turned the Mason jar upside down, still unbelieving it was empty.

The first day, she had found the jar half empty, the second day, quarter empty, the third day three quarters down empty…and today, well…completely empty…

Who was emptying the jar of milk? A search of the whole kitchen was to naught.

Was it Jack her husband? He loved milk. But last night, she had made sure to sleep with one eye open, in wait to pounce once he tiptoed to the kitchen, he didn’t….

Claire was defeated.

“Hwoosh….” She sighed, when she noticed little Ann standing at the door.

Now how would she convince the little girl that she had actually reserved milk for her tea? She wondered, when the little girl spoke.

“You will be late for work mum."

“I can’t quite remember where I kept the milk yesterday” she managed to say, preparing to drop the bombshell!

“Don’t worry,” the little girl said, “Today no tea, I am satisfied.”

This morning was becoming full of wonders! Ann comfortable with not taking tea in the morning! Was she bluffing? Okay, fine.

She quickly came and hugged the little girl, kissed goodbye, and left.

She had just closed the door when she remembered she had forgotten her watch and turned back....to a surprise.

Little Ann who still hadn’t noticed her, was kneeling cuddling something on the chair just next to the cupboard. She looked closely, saw: a kitten.

She had overlooked the stuffed chair by the window, missed her culprit.
And little Ann knew, loved it all this while!
