“You look happy.”
“I just got the prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday.”
“Must be an easy one given the smile as big as Canada.”
“Where did that phrase come from, eh?”
“My friend Dale said that in a prompt yesterday and I thought it was pretty funny. So what’s the prompt?”
“Nail.”
“Nail?”
“Nail. Linda Hill says we can use it as a verb or noun.”
“Okay, What are you going to do with nail?”
“I’m going to talk about the time I broke my nail.”
“Don’t tell me we are going back to that tire changing episode again.”
“You have to admit it was one of those life-defining moments.”
“Aw come on. We had a flat tire. It could happen to anyone.”
“You passing out doesn’t happen to everyone.”
“Well, I was hurt.”
“It was a scratch. You got a scratch.”
“That could have lead to lockjaw.”
“It was from a bramble. I don’t know how may brambles carry lockjaw.”
“There was blood.”
“You mean that red line on your arm?”
“Maybe it was cause I skipped breakfast.”
“Or you are a weenie. In any case, I had to change the tire.”
“You did a great job too.”
“And broke a nail.”
“Tell the people what caused the flat.”
“A nail.”
“Bingo. Extra points. No, wait. You didn’t use it as a verb.”
“If you nail someone as a weenie I think that takes care of it.”
“Are you ever going to forget this story?”
“what do you think?”
“No.”
“Good answer cookie.”
