Good one Carol. I rarely come over to the prose side because I follow so many poets at this point. This was funny and very well written.

    Jude,

    These silly things are fun but I really enjoy writing the ones that grab the heart...ones you can really connect to the character. Thanks so much...Smiles, Carol

Hullo Carol ...

This is another short work with a surprise ending which I don't really understand - maybe because I must be getting old!

Thank you for sharing this with us. It is well written and there is nothing to suggest changing.
With love from .. Nanette Mary.

Hi Carol

I read this piece and liked this one, it was really cute, had a funny punch line to it, and was set up well. I think it was cuter than the pirate and boys one, in the sense that I got a chuckle.

    Turtle,

    Yeah, unfortunately, this one rattled through my brain after I posted the Pirate one...I liked this one better too! That's me though...a day late and a dollar short!

    Smiles, Carol

Funny and delightful, age is a great subject in every situation. I like this line: "Old? Not a gray hair on your head," Frank grinned."Thanks to Clairol," she laughed.
" Same here!

A touch of green... I thought it was a dress code to a party! Now I know the green stands for jealousy towards youth. This is exceptionally funny, Carol, I bet you kept smiling as you wrote it...

Hi Carol, another lovely little micro-fiction, based on creme de menthe, and well told. Very funny, but unfortunately, I think some of us can relate to this -ahem!
Loved it. Warmest regards and hugs, Marijke

This is great!It is witty. As someone who is approaching 40 I already see myself this way and I don't drink. Hilarious ending.

    blsdauthor,

    A glass of wine maybe once a year is my extravaganza, but the "senior citizen" part is way too evident. Smiles, Carol

I've yet to read your actual entry for the contest but this is a humourous short short and I enjoyed it.

A nightly fixture at the bar, she owned the corner stool.
I love this line. I can imagine that stool having her butt print on it.

"Thanks to Clairol,"
Great use of a known product making your story more realistic, it draws the reader.

"It's the drinks. I was twenty-one when I first walked through the door."
I laughed...she speaks the truth!
