Child with a Balloon

I've been working on a long, long, long project, as well as a slightly complicated but equally difficult project, and after a few weeks, I decided to take a break and just do something simple. But it's connected to the latter project, so it's not like I'm wasting my time or anything.

Our little girl here is from a short story. Not the literary short story, so to speak, but it's a story that's short. I'm dividing it into parts. How many, I don't know, but quite a few, I believe. Most of this little girl's story is a big reveal, so I won't have much to say about her. Nope, not even her name. But I won't keep tight-lipped about her all the way, 'cause that'd be boring of me.

This young girl from the early 40s resides in East Tennessee. She's innocent enough, but despite being relatively well off, she has bad grammar usage skills. And it shows when she talks; you can tell she's trying to break the habit, 'cause she often corrects herself, i.e. "I didn't do nothing. I mean anything." But when she's angry or frustrated, she doesn't monitor herself as faithfully, and her poor grammar slips through the cracks.

This Tennessean also would like to present herself as a debutant, but her scruffy personality (and sometimes appearance) stands quite firmly in the way of that. Last but not least of what I'm going to tell you, our young girl is tenacious, bright, and hardy.

Hopefully, you've enjoyed this less than weighty explanation of this character, and even more hopefully, you'll enjoy the upcoming story.
