Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy’s Birthday

~ John W. Howell

“What is that on my bed?”

“It is a new toy for your Birthday.”

“This is very nice. Has a strawberry finish.”

“You can taste strawberry?”

“Yes, and vanilla cream cheese frosting with sprinkles.”

“I’m amazed you can get all that out of a toy.”

“You have to have an imagination, though.”

“Ah. That is a good point.”

“Like you have to imagine this candle is peppermint.”

“Okay. It certainly looks that way.”

“Of course, the way this is made, you can’t really chew it off.”

“Looks like you are giving it a good try, though.”

“You have to pretend to snuff out the flame.”

“Did you make a wish?”

“Yeah that we go out and play.”

“You going to take the cake with you?”

“Sure. It’s new. It will never leave my side.”

“Or fifteen minutes which ever comes first.”

  3. That is so cute, John…Happy Birthday Twiggy!
    It’s one of my special days today too! It’s 71 years since I said ‘I do!’ and married my love, Eric. As with many couples, we’v e been through ‘the thick and thin ‘ together and came out on the sane side…All a bit like a mirage and sometimes magical. We have had many adventures, and the best of all: three, worthy sons. Love is definitely the best way to keep afloat, whatever the problem! Good, continued, luck with your writing. and may you have a productive and healthy year. Cheers. Joy x

  25. Happy Birthday, Twiggy! That last picture of Twiggy and her cake is hilarious. I hope she had a really good 15 minutes with it. Brilliant choice for a present, John. How old is Twiggy?

  28. Love your closing line, John. Our dog gets very possessive of her new toys. She debates between getting close enough to tease me with it and running away. Happy birthday to the birthday girl!
