Forbidden love

“Honey, have you seen my lotion?” Sam called from the bedroom. Max walked into view, brushing his teeth as Sam dumped her suitcase on the bed. “I can’t find it anywhere.” She pointed at her legs. “I got too much sun. My skin is tight and hurts a little.” Max came back, without the toothbrush.Continue reading “Forbidden love”

Really officer

Among other things, her feet were killin’ her. Damn this Georgia sun. It felt like she had been walkin’ for hours. Nothing on her was dry. Suzie bet that if you rung out her bra, a pint of sweat could be collected. ‘Stick out your thumb fool’! She scolded herself. ‘Otherwise, no one will everContinue reading “Really officer”

When you are the passenger in the back seat, it’s so hard to hear. Add hearing loss into the mix; the words just – find lives of their own. This happens to me more often than not. Topic of conversation? Can’t remember. Resulting remarks. Oh I remember. Savage flu shot. The laughter that ensued wasContinue reading “Savage flu shot”

Knock, knock

Knock, knock! Who’s there? Dish. What? Not what? Great! You’ve killed the joke. Take me to the dishwasher or you’ll come back to work with sour gnats and a funky smell at your workstation. I’ll make it so stanky, everyone will hold their noses as they walk by just for being a Joke killer. 🥣🥄🍴Continue reading “Knock, knock”

New Earth
