SOC Badge by: Doobster at Mindful Digressions
Stream of Consciousness Saturday again. This week’s prompt is Compliment/Complement and can be used together or separately. If you want to join this fun, go to Linda Hill’s site and read the rules. Here is the link http://lindaghill.com/2015/05/01/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-may-215/ My interpretation follows.
Compliment/Complement by John W. Howell © 2015
“Hi, Sarah how you doing?”
“Very well, Jackson. Thank you.”
“I enjoyed taking you to the party.”
“Me too. You complement me.”
“Well, okay. You have lovely hair.”
“Huh? Oh, I get it you thought I was looking for a compliment.”
“You said complement me.”
“I meant you make me feel complete.”
“Whoa. That is some compliment.”
“Well, it’s true. You are a complement to me.”
“Thank you, Thank you very much. You compliment me as well.”
“Hum, as in make you whole?”
“Naw, as in saying nice things about me.”
“I think we should get going to the movie this is getting complicated.”
“I agree. Excellent Segway.”
“Thanks for the compliment.”
“I think I’m getting it.”

An interesting pair of words to work with, and easy to confuse. I like your treatment of the subject, John.

I have to look up those two every time. I never can remember which is which…. Sadly i’ll still have to look, even after this illustration. Cute story John. Well done again. Hugs. 😀
