Mama, I’m hungry. Will you make me something to eat? Christi, breakfast was an hour ago. I tried to wake you up. I’m busy now. Make yourself some cereal.   I don’t want cereal. I’m sick of cereal. I need a warm breakfast. Can I have some grits? Sure you can. Grits are easy. You’re thirteen. You’re old enough to cook. Make them yourself. I don’t know how. Where are the grits anyway? In the pantry, where they are supposed to be. There is a box in there. Read the directions on the back. Okay, I found them. What do I need to cook them in? A boiler. You know where I keep my cooking pots and pans. Mama, do we have any yields? Any WHAT? Yields, if we don’t have any, I can’t make grits. Are you nuts? What are you talking about? It says right here on the directions -- I/2 cup grits, 2 cups water, 1tsp. Salt and yields, I cup.   Writing Prompt Write a story using only dialogue. No narration, descriptions, or sentence tags.
