Thank you for hosting, Susan.
Here's this week's picture, followed by my story for it :
I've heard of a cow jumping over the moon, but I've never heard of babies hanging onto shooting stars on a dark night. He said I was crazy. (140 characters)
Well what does he know! Thanks for dropping by. And what's this, you don't read theoretical quantum particle physics? As far as I understand, the problem is that if the universe was a can of baked beans then picking it up ( the can,not the universe) suggests that only one bean in the can. But when you open it, its full, So a Higgs bosin is the way of trying to explain this difference. Simple really. But that's why you need my metaphor machine microfiction. Oh, if you want a proper explanation one is here.
ReplyDeleteNot crazy - just imaginative. :)
ReplyDeleteThis one's very different from what most of us have come up with this week. Well done for finding a new angle on it.
LOL. Hilarious! What a great take on the picture.
ReplyDeleteLove the positive attitude that shines through your blog. You go girl!
Were you visited by the "Men in Black?"
ReplyDeleteLoved your story...
He is so wrong! Creative, not crazy! Three syllables, not two!
ReplyDeleteHey John! Thanks so much for attempting to explain it to me. I even went to the site you provided, but I gotta tell ya....You lost me in the middle of the 2nd sentence! What can I say? My brain just closes up and shuts the door when I try to read articles like that. I don't have the math/science brain, I have the literary brain, and I guess never the twain shall meet!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Morning AJ! I appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteHi Ellie! Wow! Thanks! I think you may just be my new BFF! :D
ReplyDeleteHi G-man! I probably was visited by those guys. I've watched the movie enough times! (not Number II, though..didn't care for it!)
ReplyDeleteThanks, South Lake Mom! I think I've been called both...creative and crazy!
ReplyDeleteFun take on the pic for the week, Becky! Love it! Funny how we all see such different things in the same picture! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteSylvia
LOL--crazy in a GOOD way! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou go girl, just read the intro for your blog.
ReplyDeleteLoved you MF,hope you'll stick around on Mondays for a very long time!
Nothing crazy about it - it's magical! :)
ReplyDelete140 characters is pretty challenging!
ReplyDelete=)
Seriously, who let's their kid ride a shooting star without a car seat?
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff, Becky. (And who cares what he says!) This was a great MM.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you. Mother Goose definitely has to be behind this. I think I'm going to blame her, too, about there being no ice cream for breakfast this morning. I guess it doesn't matter all that much, since the dish ran away with the spoon anyway. (I mean, what would I have served it in?) Can you tell I didn't have enough coffee this AM? RATS! I knew it would show!
ReplyDeleteI think that people who are not at least a little bit crazy are missing out on life's finer offerings. Thanks for sharing your post.
ReplyDeleteI am still chuckling Becky, Gotta watch those kids. What did Art Linkletter say, Kids do the Darndest things.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it was something she ate.
ReplyDeleteHey, stars are hard to catch...you did well. :)
ReplyDeleteCool! I gotta give this a try. I'll give you some "link love" while I'm at it!
ReplyDeleteAwe, you're not crazy! sandie
ReplyDeletepic. reminds me of fairy flying to a new world for the babies , who knows what
ReplyDeleteGosh, I'm overwhelmed by everyone's comments. Thanks so much to those I haven't already mentioned: Sylvia K, Tammy, Peggy, Akelamalu, Sue, Mama Badger, Michael G-G, SparkleFarkle, Sylviamorice, Bill -{The Old Fart}, Pat, Hope, Lisa, Chatty and Rose! I really appreciate the time you've taken to leave comments! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteVery cute, nice one, Becky! Hugs! :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent! (I think just maybe "he" was right LOL) But wouldn't it be cool to be one of those babies?
ReplyDeleteHi Estrella and Susan! Thank you so much for stopping and commenting! Y'all make me very happy!
ReplyDeleteWell, Becky, you aren't very crazy. Just a little bit for hosting contests. I have learned that when I have a contest NOT TO HAVE PRIZES. I get about as many complainers as I lose by not having the prize. And things are a lot easier. I can post and forget (except to return comments).
ReplyDeleteThanks for peeking at my µ-fict. I am loving these different takes, yours is a on the funny side because of the "He said" bit. [Sorry I'm so late in getting here.]

BTW, our beagle dog, Adi (Adi's meme), is thirteen. She has lost her hearing so things don't wake her up much anymore.
She loves to have her tummy scratched. And she will want to go out just for the treat when she comes back in.
