Esther asks: “Can You Tell A Story In….?” This week’s challenge
is to include the words “dentist”, “elegant”, “trout” and “pocket”
in a story of exactly 30 words. Here’s my 30 word story.
Mother played matchmaker …. me and the new dentist, so elegant with his perfectly folded pocket square.
After dinner his breath reeked of trout with garlic.
A second date? No thanks!

Being a dentist, you’d think he’d know all about people’s bad breath!

I am left with the feeling that she didn’t appreciate her mother playing matchmaker.

Hmmm. You’re probably on to something, Allen, considering this little vignette opened with Mom playing matchmaker.
Thanks. Good observation!
