Say Something Saturday - Take 1

Ami has a new thing called Say Something Saturday over at her blog where you check in every Saturday to get your writing assignment and post it to your blog.

This week's assignment is as follows:

In fewer than 500 words, write a story or a poem incorporating the following words in no particular order.

Bubble, box, egg, astounding, heart and match.

Here's my entry. Thanks for looking.

Today I have to email my friend, D (we’ll leave it at that to protect the innocent). She has chickens on her land and she is always trying to sell me her farm fresh eggs. I do not like eggs. Since I do the cooking in my house, no one in my house eats eggs. I do not cook anything I will not be eating. Them’s the rules.

Yesterday, after sending Mom #2 a flurry of text messages regarding money and the car and other miscellaneous items, I happened to mention D and her over abundance of farm fresh eggs. Mom #2 mentioned it to her parents and oh my goodness the world has a new bright and shiny light and I AM IT. Turns out they need five, yes you read me right, five dozen eggs. This is for two people, my mom-in-law and my pop-in-law: no kids, no pets, no guests. I don’t get it, but okay.

Turns out they LOVE farm fresh eggs! It is simply astounding to me that Mom #2 and I have been together almost ten years and no one mentioned to me that eggs are apparently their very favorite food. I guess since I have such a violent disgust for them, they decided to let me live in my delicate egg free bubble.

So, like I said earlier, today I have to email my friend, D. I will ask her to put five dozen eggs in a box and bring them to our next home school field trip. She will be very excited as selling them is one of the many ways she earns her living.

It has done my heart good to know that I could make this love connection, I mean love match (wink, wink, you thought you had me, didn’t you).

P.S.
I know you may not believe this, but this is a true story.
This actually did happen to me today.
The words for this week were apparently meant especially for me, LOL.

Thanks, Ami. I had fun.

Until next time . . .
