Who’s Kidding Who

Nancy's Notes 🖊️🎶

Written for Friday Fictioneers where our gracious host,
Rochelle, has asked us to use the photo below as inspiration

every word count. Here’s my flash.

Sue was excited as she showed her husband Ron her purchase.

“Isn’t it gorgeous, Ron? My latest acquisition from the Mystical Emporium. It’s supposed to…”

Ron cut her off. “Not again, Sue! You’re so gullible!”

“Ron, wait! It really works!” But Ron left, slamming the door behind him.

Sue would have to wait until Ron returned from work to show him how the pitcher set glowed whenever someone lied.

As usual, Ron was late and Sue was waiting for him.

“Not now, Sue! I’ve had a grueling day at the office!”

And the magical pitcher set glimmered like a supernova.

  8. Now *that* is a valuable set of glassware. I wouldn’t let Ron know what it does, so he can continue to dig his own grave.

    Very entertaining story, Nancy!

    1. Oops, indeed!

      I’m pretty sure I wrote about the Knickerbockers in my former life. They were a couple of guys, brothers I believe, who tried to be R&R stars by copying other artists’ styles. Yes, they sounded like the Beatles on Lies …. they even perfected Paul’s scream …. but they didn’t do much of anything else.
