I've never done this before, but decided to play this once at least. Using this picture as a prompt, write a story of fewer than 140 words OR 140 characters. I chose 140 characters. Extra "credit" if you include the word "tempt."
Here's my story:
“Don’t tempt me, Joe.”
“Stop muttering while I set this monopod.”
“I warned you... one more morning chasing birds...”
“See it? A blue-footed booby!”
“Goodbye, Joe.”
He certainly does seem oblivious to his wife's presence. I liked your take on this and you grabbed those extra points on your first try! Hope you'll be back to play again.
"Joe, I am going to try and tempt you away! You need to drink this hot coffee and come in the house. The season is over and they closed that nudist beach this past fall!"
Well, for a blue-footed booby, I'd dump my spouse. They're my favorite birds!

I am thinking Joe doesn't recognize how annoyed his SO is with him

ReplyDeleteThe birds before wife is not a good approach. Good one.
ReplyDeleteWho's the booby now? Hmmm?
ReplyDelete:)
She did give him a fair warning ;-)
ReplyDeleteGuess he was too interested in the wrong boobies.
ReplyDeleteLOL First you cracked me up, and then I saw Wendy's booby comment above, and now I'll never stop giggling. Thanks! Love this.
ReplyDeleteI can't better Wendy's comment :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, that made me smile! Some men never learn... :)
ReplyDeleteHere is my story:

That was great and I did laugh at all the booby comments!
ReplyDeleteI did a similar take on my page about a woman walking away. Hope to see you here again...:)

I hope learned he shouldn't take his spouse for granted. Good one!
