Trouble In Paradise, A Saturday Centus

.

Jenny Matlock


Welcome to my contribution to week 63 of Saturday Centus.  Our wonderful host for this fun meme, Jenny Matlock from her blog off on my tangent, has decided to do a little shake-up this week.  Instead of the usual 100 word limit, we are to use only 25 words this week plus the prompt which is "I'm not getting any younger."

As if 100 words wasn't hard enough!  Thanks Jenny for a fun prompt and for challenging our creativity once again!  Here is my teeny-tiny effort for this week.  I have entitled it:


Trouble In Paradise

“Aaugh! 

I spend hours getting pretty for you, but you don’t care.

I’m not getting any younger, Charlie.”
 
“Or thinner!”

"I'll kill you."

 "Just get me a beer first."

  12. Since we are so many women participating in this challenge it is refreshing that you are aboard, Tom.
    (But I agree with Judie. Get your own beer!)

  15. Excellent !

    OMGosh Tom...somehow I laughed out loud, then I was furious with that guy...if it were me, he'd have beer poured all over him. I love it when you do 'man cave' writings but I hope it's only fiction !
