Blinking Contest

Mmph mmph! You told me to try blinking grass, so I slipped under the screen door and marched out into the front yard. The lawn was cold, wet, and practically taller than my shoulders. I got right down on my stomach in the dirt, parting two thick green blades with both mittens to stare directly at them. I blinked as fast as my eyelids could flutter to see if the lawn would blink back. Right then, a bent stalk snapped, flinging a fat, freezing dewdrop straight into my hood opening! Mmm-ph... I didn't even twitch. I just wiped the splash off my nose and kept squinting at the sparkling green tips.
