Written for Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt
#434 where we’re asked to be creative in exactly
77 words using the word ‘woebegone’. Also for
Sue & Gerry’s Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge
where the prompt word is ‘imagine’’ and Fandango’s FOWC
using the word ‘weed’. Here’s where the three prompts took me.
Freddy’s sister Margie was crying; he couldn’t imagine what was wrong.
“Hey, sis! Why so woebegone?”
“Oh, Freddy! Larry dumped me. He’s taking someone else to the dance tonight.”
“Larry’s a knucklehead! Say, sis, why not come to the dance with me and my girl, Betty?”
“Gee willikers, Freddy! Larry dumped me for your girlfriend, Betty!”
“Golly, that sure stinks! I was gonna ask Betty to go steady!”
“Aw shucks, Freddy! Let’s just go smoke some weed!”

This was such great fun for me to write, dear Keith, but my last line had to be something totally unexpected. When I found Fandango’s FOWC, I knew that was it! I’m pleased to know you enjoy my wacky sense of humor.

Do you have any idea how many times I read that and didn’t see it? It was originally “Freddy walked past Margie’s bedroom….” but I had too many words and cut some out, forgetting about the ‘s. Christ on a bike!

I know exactly of what you speak! We change a sentence and somehow, no matter what, our brain doesn’t register the whole thing! Been there. More than once!

Hilarious will do nicely! I love making people laugh.
We saw this flick in the 70s also; it was a double feature with “Night of the Living Dead”. Brilliant combo!

It looks like everyone who smokes weed becomes a sex maniac, except for those that leap out of windows to their death. Fun videos, Nancy.
