Written for Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt #390
incorporating the word “diamond” in exactly 19 words
and based on a true event I’ll never forget. Here’s my flash.
Seriously. Wanna piss me off?
Call my stories “cute”.
That’s how my mother referred to my diamond engagement ring!

No worries, Sadje. I realize it’s going to happen and it usually isn’t done out of malice.
We all have things that get under our skin (with good reason). This happens to be mine.
Thank you, cara mia!

Right?!? Just the icing on the cake of my mommy issues!
The word “cute” is reserved for baby animals and such …. not for jewelry and certainly not for our writing. It’s rude and ignorant!

I loathe being called cure or being told that something I do is cute. SO insulting.

Ohh yes. Cute is not meant for our written works or an engagement ring. I don’t think anyone over here would pull that move! But then again, we never know
