Laura must hate Mike was my interpretation. And how did two 9 year-old manage to uncork the sparking wine? Sorry I am being critical so that you can win the short story prize next year. I have faith in you. <br /><br />mmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15971319575444421547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-62780902239111932082013-11-30T21:07:24.596+10:302013-11-30T21:07:24.596+10:30This comment has been removed by the author.mmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15971319575444421547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-51073036801615425992013-11-30T15:15:32.623+10:302013-11-30T15:15:32.623+10:30Marie; the boys are only just nine and fictional t...Marie; the boys are only just nine and fictional too....but I could....no it's a bit far for me to travel.<br /><br />Susan Kane; I'm glad I didn't have twins either.

I really enjoy your creative pieces - it's so interesting to see what people can do with just a few words as a starting point. <br /><br />Now could you send those boys over here as my kitchen is a disaster zone after today's baking.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088355577823930786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-17505001502811523142013-11-29T15:20:03.624+10:302013-11-29T15:20:03.624+10:30Delores; thank you, making lemonade is always bett...Delores; thank you, making lemonade is always better than holding a sour face.<br /><br />Elephant's Child; probably equally important is to teach them that only water goes into a kettle. I wouldn't mind seeing a unicorn or two myself.<br /><br />Mimsie; thank you very much. I thought about Mother's Day, when kids often bring burnt toast and cold tea to mum in bed, then she cleans the mess after she gets up. I think Michael has a great job, traveling all over looking for things that may or may not be there, interviewing all the people on the streets, think of the stories he'd hear.

The idea of making coffee in the kettle had me in stitches and it certainly sounded as though those 9 year olds needed lessons in the cleaning up side of kitchen life. I like the idea that their intentions were nothing if not well meant.<br />The story that hubby Michael had been chasing....I am sure it he would have found it to be quite true as in my mind unicorns do exist and they must on odd occasions be seen by some lucky person/s.<br />Thanks for sheer delight today.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-34902171598003838582013-11-29T08:44:39.062+10:302013-11-29T08:44:39.062+10:30And how I would love to see unicorns romping in a ...And how I would love to see unicorns romping in a field...<br />And yes, teaching the boys clean up duties sounds most excellent.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-59879431715531696952013-11-29T06:59:25.995+10:302013-11-29T06:59:25.995+10:30And THAT'S how you turn lemons into lemonade. ...And THAT'S how you turn lemons into lemonade.
