Writing prompt: The Monster.
When my family rode our antique bikes in parades, we would get dressed up in old-fashioned garb.
My mom rode an 1880s tricycle while wearing blue bloomers, a white shirt with puffy sleeves, and a straw hat. People would yell out, "It's Mary Poppins" as she rode by. (I never understood this. She didn't look like Mary Poppins to me.)
My mother was very popular in the parades. She was so popular that she earned a nickname within the family: The Parade Monster. It was the perfect nickname, one she embraced with all of her tricycle-riding ability!
