The Honeymoon Phase

Molly wanted to impress her husband by baking him his favorite pie, so grabbing his mother’s cookbook she set to work. Pie in the oven a lovely smell filled the house as she busily tidied up.

Smoke!” she cried.

Lamenting her cremated attempt she opened the door tossing it outside for the dog and chickens. At the kitchen window she watched as the hens warily circled the mess and left. Then Charley sniffed it and completing the insult lifted his leg on it.

Alan would later be clueless about Molly’s tears when walking in he exclaimed,

“You made mom’s pie!”

Grandfather’s Chair

PHOTO PROMPT -Copyright – Jan Wayne Fields

Gazing at Grandfather’s self portrait reminded her of the many times she’d sat in his lap watching him work. After the funeral, Grandmother promised she’d put stickers on all the things she knew us kids wanted,

“No confusion this way” she winked.

When Grandmother passed, her brother called to say he’d auctioned off the old homestead,

” More fair this way.” he’d said.

Years later, when traveling cross country, Emily spied a chair like Grandfather’s in a junk shop and bought it. Loading it into the car the shopkeeper reached out to remove a small sticker.

“NO, leave it!” she cried.

The Couple on Flight 259:

a pandimensional tale told in two parts

~*~*~*~

“Honey, what’s that big X down there?”

“Couldn’t say, dear. I’ve never noticed it before.”

“Me neither. It’s very strange.”

George replies, “Maybe it’s a heliport, darling.” and returning to his in-flight magazine he instantly tunes her out.

“Ah, that makes sense”, mumbles Merriam, and puts on her earphones.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Charley! I told you playtime was over. Now you and your brother put your toys away this instant; it’s time for dinner!

Aw . . . !

Charley pulls the plug on his toy, then snatching the airplane from Billie’s hand he tosses them into the basket.

Laughing, they race for the door.
