Every Sunday, the amazing fashionista Daryl has a feature called Tell Me A Story, in which she posts a photograph she has taken, and asks her readers to tell her a story about it. Here is Daryl's photograph, and my story spun from it.
"Hello? Let me talk to my Fairy Godmother, please. It's me, Pandora. She's FGM # 512. (sigh) Yes, I'll hold."
(Jeopardy! theme....)
"Hello? Hi, it's me. Well, I'm fiiine. BUT. We need to talk."
(pause)
"Well tell her to wait! I've been on hold half the day. Now listen. This guy you sent me...."
(holds phone away from ear for a moment)
"God Mom, that was frogs. We talked about frogs, and how I might have to kiss a lot of them in order to find my Prince. This guy is a toad. Well of course I'm sure. I'm looking right at him, as we speak. What?"
(listens for a minute)
"No. God Mom, I'm telling you. Toad City. He clearly buys ALL of his clothes at Sports Authority. I am so not going out with this guy, only to be taken to some place that advertises 13 Big Screen Tvs! All Games! No. No. God Mom. Nooooooooooo."
(listens and makes a face)
"He's wearing Axe. I can smell it from here. And he slouches. What? I do NOT sound like my mother! You've got to do better. It's meeeeee, God Mom, your little favorite, Pandora. C'mon, find me a dream, or I sign with the Sandman. Oh yes, I would. Okay. Love you, too. Buh bye."

He seems patriotic though. Quit being so darn picky! Hee,hee.
ReplyDelete"Hmm...
ReplyDelete"Fashion conscious, but not pretentious. Great hair. Legs. Lips.
"You say she's low-maintenance, or she says she is? Uh huh. Okay FG, I'll take a chance. I mean I'm not getting any younger, right? What's to lose?"
