Microfiction Monday # 9


Welcome to Microfiction Monday,
where a picture paints 140 characters.

Susan over at Stonyriver hosts Microfiction Monday.

The rules are simple,to use Susan's picture she posts then compose a story up to 140 characters including spaces and punctuation.
Then hop on over to Susan's and leave your name. She even has a brilliant character counter to help us count.
As Susan promises, it's fast, it's fiction, it's fun.

Here's this week's picture, and my story to go with it:



Hey Betty do you have a pair of flats in your trunk
Sonia yelled from above,
standing in skates for two days was not in my contract!

    When girl get together, anything can happen! Imcluding a lot of laughter! These are so fun to do, I'm so glad you joined!

    Susan;

    Can you blame the girls, Betty has such great clothes. She also must have been a girl scout(always prepared)
    It was around 42 today, so much warmer then zero.
    Staying warm though, you too!

  4. Waiting for Missy to come home from school and play with them, was boring. What did the children do at school anyway that could be so fun.

  17. Ah, women and their shoes! {I know, I'm a girl but I don't have the "shoe" gene}.

    Does appear that Betty's doing her best to help out. Is there a French Maid doll to clean up you suppose? ;)

  18. Love this one! Poor dolly, standing in skates would be uncomfortable! And Bettie looks like she has clothes enough to share.
