Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt “yule/you’ll/Yul”

Stream of Consciousness

 

You’ll not believe it is Stream of Consciousness Saturday time again. This week’s prompt is “yule/you’ll/Yul.” Linda Hill says to start the post with one of them. Now you know why the first sentence was so goofy. If you would like to join this band of misfits, visit Linda’s blog and read all about how. Here is the link.

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS Dec. 23/17

Yule/you’ll/Yul by John W. Howell © 2017

“What is your name , son?”

“Yul.”

“Yul?”

“Yes, sir?”

“You’ll have to give me a hand here.”

“Yes sir. What are you doing?”

“Trying to get this Yule log into the sleigh.”

“Not sure you have the strength for that, sir.”

“Guess why I asked you for help?”

“Not sure.”

“You kidding me?”

“No sir.”

“Because I don’t have the strength.”

“Ah. We are on the same page.”

“So grab the end there.”

“Hummph.”

“Heavy right?”

“Mmmpphhh.”

“We are almost there.”

“There. We have it in the sleigh.”

“Thank you, Yul. You were a big help.”

“Sir?”

“Yes, Yul.”

“I hope you’ll have a Merry Christmas.”

“Thank you, Yul. I hope you’ll have the same.”

“I think I will.”

“You think?”

“Yes. Especially if you give me your wallet.”

    You’ll keep us wondering as we watch the Yule log burn if Yul is joshing or not. 😀 Thank you for the morning chuckle, John. As always, great job.

  17. Well… if it was my wallet, that lad would be mighty disappointed. All that work, and nothing to show for it except a great description to the police. 😀
