Microfiction: Baditude, Tatitude

Welcome to today's microfiction!  

Grandma's Goulash graciously hosts Succinctly Yours, the wonderful meme for those of us addicted to microfiction. The trick is to write a story in 140 characters or less using the photo below as inspiration. To add to the challenge is the word of the week, "revolution."  My stories are below.






Baditude
(134 characters)

Members of the 70’s era rock band, Baditude, protested the Grammys when their #1 single, Bieber Bites, failed to receive a nomination.

Tatitude
(140 characters)

Edna, a 1960’s social revolutionary, hides her Flower Power tattoo. “A daisy on my forehead seemed such a good idea at the time,” she sighs.

Thanks for visiting! See you on Wednesday for the naked truth about . . . Loss.

Have a great week--
Lisa

The second one had me giggling out loud. So many things seemed like a good idea at that time.

Two excellent MFs. I like Tatitude best though - laughing at the daisy tattoo!

These are both hilarious, Lisa, especially "Bieber Bites" and the daisy tattooed on her forehead...lol :D

You know, I always enjoy reading what you come up with! I'm thinking Tatitude is my favorite here. :)

Poor Edna. I'm glad that I don't have to display anything from the sixties. Well, except for my daughter. :D

Thanks so much for the Versatile Blogger award. It is much appreciated.

Just checking in Lisa-thanks for the chuckle! You are so good at these :)

Well nearing 70,000 and still going. Hoping a full draft by the end of April-that will make it a full year since I started this...ugh! Hope to get back to blogging soon.
