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, "transport." My stories are below.

(137 characters)
Billy wished the mower was a machine that could transport him far, far away. After an hour of hearing him whine, Grandma wished the same.

The first one is cute, Lisa. :)
ReplyDeleteThe second one is sooooo true that it hurts! :cry: :rofl:

So true to life ...
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed them both - especially the second one.
ReplyDeleteHa! Even lawn mowing boys have a learning curve when they are new to the job, lol.
ReplyDeleteAs always, thanks for making me laugh this morning.

Both funny, both nice, tight writing.
ReplyDeleteLots of chuckles for these great ups and downs. I got the Star Trek vibe too.
ReplyDeleteGood ones, Lisa. "Mow down her tulips" is a guarantee. LOL

Loved your first one the most--it took me back to when my sons did their chores begrudgingly. But now their spouses thank me for making them do chores.
ReplyDeleteThey are both good but the first one is awesome! Nothing grates on my nerves more as my children consistantly whining while doing a simple chore!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Joanne
The first picture could be my nephew! I suspect if he is not whining out loud, he may be on the inside. :) Good ones, Lisa! Always glad you share them.
ReplyDeleteOMG, these are hilarious. LMAO.
ReplyDeleteI love knowing just where to go for a laugh when I need it. And I always get at least a two-fer here!
ReplyDeleteNice pictures. They really enjoyed it!
