Tuesday – Anything Possible – Finger Point Prompt – Jaw

~ John W. Howell

 

Today I randomly opened Detour on the Eternal Road to page 167. With eyes closed, I pointed to the page. The word closest to my finger is “jaw.” That will be the prompt today.

“What did you say?”

“You deserve a punch on the jaw is what I said.”

“Why’s that?”

“You are so rude that you need a lesson.”

“What did I do to you?”

“It’s not what you did to me. It’s what you took from me.”

“Now I’m really confused.  What could I have taken from you?”

“My pride.”

“Huh?”

“Yeah. Everyone is looking at us, and if I don’t do something, I will lose face.”

“I’m so in the dark. What the heck are you talking about?”

“My egg. You’re sitting on my egg.”

“Whattt? This is my egg.”

“Your egg is over there. Your stupid mate moved it.”

“Oh, my goodness. Now that I have looked, you are right.”

“So get off.”

“Why don’t you just sit on  my egg?”

“Penguins don’t do that. Last chance before I head butt you.”

“Okay, okay. Don’t get your feathers in a knot, I’m going.”

“You might want to clue in your idiot.”

“You can say stuff about me all you want, but keep my idiot out of this.”

“Yeah, he’s your burden. Thanks for keeping my egg warm.”

“No problem. Where is that idiot anyway?”

“Not my turn to watch him.”

“Very funny.”
