Was It Something I Said? A Saturday Centus

.



It is week 143 of Jenny Matlock's fun and challenging writing meme, Saturday Centus, from her blog, "off on my tangent."  This week Jenny has provided a photo from which to inspire our 100-word maximum stories and poems.  It's been awhile but I thought I would give it a go this week and see what happened.  My effort this week is entitled: 

Was It Something I Said?

Walking out to the garden, I spied my wife toiling away in the hot sun. 

I gave her a quick hug. “You know you don’t smell as bad as I thought you would?"

“WHAT?"

“I mean you don’t sweat much for a woman your size.” 

“WHAT!!!???” 

She glanced at the large ripe tomato at her side. 


 “You want to throw that at me, don’t you?”

“No, I was thinking I could make you salsa with it.”

"Can you make it now?" I asked, turning back toward the house.

That’s when it struck me in the head.

What women want:  To be loved, to be listened to, to be desired, to be respected, to be needed, to be trusted, and sometimes, just to be held.

  What men want:  Tickets to the World Series.
