Susan at Stony River hosts Microfiction Monday. Susan posts pictures every week and writers take on the challenge to write 140 characters or fewer. (Twitter-sized) stories about the picture.
"Oh dear! What if my husband comes home early and sees his new bride receiving these jars from a delivery service? I told him I could can!"
oh no! she's pulling a fast one on her hubby lol!

Thanks so much, Jillien! I just realized that the 140 count INCLUDED SPACES!! Duh!! I just revised it to fit the criteria! Oops!! I feel so dumb!! :(

Thanks for visiting my blog and introducing yourself. I love your visual and the story...well, I identify. Not so much exaggerating my skills as a young bride, but undercounting the number of ebay purchases the mailman was delivering. :-)
ReplyDeleteAWWW! You're so much nicer than I am!!! What came to my mind was horrible one-liners about being goosed, and what was about to get hurled. Am I awful?
ReplyDeleteFun idea!
ReplyDeleteVery clever, Becky! HA! ;)
ReplyDeleteVery cute, Becky. And thanks for posting about the site. I'll have to check it out.

This isn't an autobiography is it? :)
ReplyDeleteHey everyone! Thanks! I think I finally got my name posted on Stony River, too, now. For some reason, it wasn't showing up the first time. (Maybe I should just stick with my other 10,000 projects I have going on at the moment! :/
ReplyDeleteDarn.....at the end of my story, I should've added one more word: "can"......as in, "I told my husband I could can-can!"
ReplyDeleteGood one. I canned some beets last year, it took me all day and was a big mess. She has the right ideal.
ReplyDeleteHaha, hilarious. Very clever caption, Becky, and it's your first one---super! Isn't this fun?!
ReplyDeleteHi Connie T. and Pat! Thank you both so much for stopping by and leaving comments! I appreicate them all!
ReplyDeleteThere's that. And then there's all the yoghurt that the milkman left...
ReplyDeleteCute take! It's the kind of thing that you might expect to see happening on an old episode of That Girl, if Donald and Ann Marie were hitched! LOL! Or I could even see this as the subject matter, if Lucy was trying to dupe Ricky on an early I Love Lucy installment! Hmm. Maybe you should look into television screenwriting. LOL! (Don't mind me; I've got TV on the brain. I approach my life as if it's a sitcom. LOLouder! It's the only way to fly! LOLoudest!) *rereading the comment, notes the excessive laughter* RATS! That dang nitrous oxide valve must be leaking again.
ReplyDeleteGood job! I'd enter your contest for the books but I don't have grandchildren old enough yet!!
ReplyDeletehubby will find out soon enough, i reckon...
ReplyDeletewelcome to the club... what a fun debut :)

ReplyDeleteloved it.

hahaha... why is it that women just can't tell the husband in the first place? LOL
