Microfiction Monday: Eerie

Pablo whines to Tex 

“I don’t care! 

Even if you triple dog dare me 

I’m not going to eat this pumpkin pie! 

Eso es muy raro! No soy un canibal!

(140 characters total)

(translation: that is too creepy! I’m no cannibal!)

Thanks to Grandma Goulash for the photo prompt

I’m telling!

About what?

You peed! Mama said no peeing in the pool!

I didn’t pee IN the pool,

I peed NEXT to it!

Oh gross!

At least I didn’t toot!

Flash Friday 55: Boys Will be Boys

Hey Billy, see them girls?

Yeah Joey, the ones hogging the swings?

Them’s the ones.

Whatcha gonna do about it?

Dunno…maybe flick boogers at ‘em?

             Nah, they’d flick theirs back.

I know! We’ll make them run away like scaredy cats!

How we gonna do that?

Do what I do, Billy, and those swings are ours!

Galen would not let me get away with "63 Words on Thursday" so I had to dig really deep for the proper muse for this week's attempt. My dear friend and colleague, Tiffany C., came to the rescue when she posted this photo on Facebook. I asked very nicely and she gave me permission to use it! And yes, the boys are doing exactly what it looks like they are doing. Anyway...that's all I have. I will be working the next 3 days and then I'm leaving for NYC next week. I will be sporadic in my posting and visiting. Looking forward to catching up when I get back.
