Julia’s prompt this week was one little word:
“… fall ….”
When I saw it, I was just suddenly attacked by this overwhelming sense of whimsy. I could attribute the result to the fact that I did actually try a new snack food a couple weeks ago that was part of a contest. But it’s more likely the fact that ‘fall’ is in the air, and it’s my most, most, most favorite time of the year. Whimsy is just bubbling out of me!
“Now, Doris, don’t fall apart when I tell you this.”
“Tell me what? What’s happened!”
“Now don’t start. There’s nothing we can do about it.”
“About what !”
“See, I knew you’d over-react.”
“For crying out loud, Melody, what’s going on!”
“Well … you didn’t win ….”
“Huh? Didn’t win … what?”
“The ‘Name the New Potato Chip’ contest.”
“I didn’t enter any contest! What’s with you?”
“Well … I entered for you. You suggested the new chip be called ‘Tangerine Tango.’”
“Well, thank God I didn’t win!”
“Why?”
“You know I hate tangerines, and they’d send me a whole box of those chips.”
“Yeah, and you give me everything you don’t like. I love tangerines!”
