Prompt: 081. candy canes<\/h1>\n

1. “Look Daddy, a big candy cane!” the boy cried, pointing at the red and white barber pole.<\/h2>\n

A. “Look Daddy, a big candy cane!” the boy cried, pointing at the red and white barber pole.<\/p>\n

A. He was dressed like a sexy elf in shiny green booty shorts and a matching half shirt. His eyes smoldered seductively as he sucked on the candy cane in his hand. He was every wet dream given form, with lips and abs and muscular thighs.<\/p>\n

He was also printed on a calendar.<\/p>\n

December’s favorite elf hung on the patch of wall next to the fridge with 31 days spread out below him. The first twelve days each had a red X crossed through it, and the 20th had been circled with “Meet Qt.” written in it. <\/p>\n
