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, "bounce." My stories are below.

A photo of Aunt Gertie wearing goggles? Amusing. A photo of Aunt Gertie after a jumping minnow bounced into her snorkel? Priceless.

Thanks for visiting! See you on Wednesday for the naked truth about (last Wednesday's post that wasn't) . . . Potluck.
Have a great week--

I laughed out loud at the first one and then went into a coughing fit with the second. You are so funny, Lisa.
ReplyDeleteGreat fun. Enjoyed both laugh out loud micros :-)
ReplyDeleteHA! So that's what was going on with hte snorkeler on the beach today-;-)
ReplyDelete(Hope your back's better, Lovely Lisa!)
Both of these are so clever, Lisa! I wish had a smidgen of your wit! Have a good week ahead and Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteYou came through again for me, Lisa...I did laugh out loud at both of them. They both reminded me of past TV commercials. I confess...the photo is of me on my second ever snorkeling adventure!
ReplyDeleteSoooo good, Lisa! Aunt Gertie is 'priceless.'
ReplyDeleteWe have a 'catch-it-yourself' catfish restaurant just north of town. They have a little pond stocked with fish. I eat what the truck brought myself.

What senior doesn't like a great bargain?
ReplyDeleteLoved your take on the "priceless" commercials. The visual of Aunt Gertie and the minnow was just too funny.
Both made my belly jiggle like a bowl full of jelly. Oh, wait...My tummy ALWAYS jiggles ;)
ReplyDeleteHa! That first one was so funny that I thought it was true; I recognized part of the Progressive commercial, lol.
ReplyDeleteYou always make me smile.
