The Emotionary No.3 - Playful

Playful

[pley-fuhl] adjective

Playful is like a silver fish - slipping and skitting and splashing. It dives down under as you tread water at the surface, and you wait for it with giggling anticipation. Where will it strike? Your toes, your tummy? You squirm at the thought, as if being tickled. Lose your breath with your laughter. As you wait, the water calms. You look across its clear, still surface. Then, with a pop and a plop, it jumps in front of you, showing off its skills. Glad it made you smile.
