Stream of Consciousness Saturday again. This week’s prompt is “Some/Sum and we can use one or both words. If you would like to give this fun a try, go to Linda Hill’s site and read all the rules. Here is the link http://lindaghill.com/2015/06/26/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-june-2715/. Here is my interpretation.
Some/Sum by John W. Howell © 2015
“Tell me that number again.”
“Seven million.”
“Whew that’s some sum.”
“No, you don’t.”
“No, I don’t what?”
“You don’t get off the prompt that easy.”
“Hey, I just said some and sum, so I’m done.”
“Tell me you didn’t rhyme that on purpose.”
“What if I did?”
“You’re an idiot.”
“Okay, so I didn’t. Now, what?”
“You are still an idiot, but you need to try harder on the prompt.”
“Like how harder?”
“Maybe you need to weave some kind of a story. You can talk about the sum of all fears.”
“The what?”
“The sum of all fears is what happens when you are afraid, and take stock in what all of the fears mean to you.. What’s the sum of that situation.”
“I have to do some math?”
“For heaven’s sake give me a break.”
“Now who’s rhyming?”
“Let me sum up something for you.”
“Go ahead with some sum. Ha ha got ya.”
“You didn’t do the prompt and I hope Linda and her friends toss you out of the SoCS.”
“Poo, I did too.”
“Another rhyme. Perfect and they are becoming more sophisticated as we go along.”
“Sum this.”
“So adult.”

Oh well some times John you can’t always sum up the intellect of chosen friends. Entertaining as always.

Good treatment of the prompt. I’m not sure who won that argument, though.

Ah, a kindred spirit. I’m so sorry, you’re clearly as far gone as I am.
Sum of All Fears is a pretty good book too.

Had me giggling a bit too, and I agree with Keith, I couldn’t decide who won that argument.

As long as I don’t have to do math, I’m happy.
Even some math is too much.
I prefer to sum up something with words.
