Stream of Consciousness Saturday time again. This week’s prompt is “Odd/Even.” Linda Hill says we can use them any way we want. This concession is good since if we had to use them together, it might be a problem. If you would like to participate in the madness here is the link http://lindaghill.com/2016/01/22/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-jan-2316/ Here’s mine.
Odd/Even by John W. Howell © 2016
“Did you hear that?”
“I think so. It sounded odd didn’t it?”
“Odd? It sounded like a gunshot. That’s what it sounded like.”
“Oh, I don’t think so.”
“I’m telling you it was a gunshot. Any fool can recognize a shot when it goes off.”
“Well I’m not a fool, and I don’t think it was a gunshot.”
“For heaven’s sake. Let’s just drop it then.”
“Why drop it? You called me a fool.”
“I said any fool could tell it’s a gunshot. You couldn’t tell, so you’re no fool.”
“Hmm. I’m thinking you’re pulling a fast one here.”
“I’m not doing anything.”
“Any fool can see you are twisting things.”
“So now you are calling me a fool. I don’t see how I’m twisting things.”
“No. I just said any fool could see you are twisting things. If you don’t see it, then you’re not a fool.”
“I would say now we are even.”
“Both fools you mean?”
“Exactly.”

Tea, coffee, and I had just gotten my biweekly grocery order. I’m well stocked… with one woeful exception… I might not have enough wine! 😀

John, any fool can see both of them were fools! Am I calling you a fool? No, any fool can see! Whoa! Your SOC is remarkable! Tomorrow is in the outfield, or tomorrow is not here yet! I don’t remember that one either. 🤔Have a great weekend! Elizabeth
