Trifectans!
Trifectains, friends and visitors to another Trifecta Writing Challenge. The word this week is Pluck - to move, remove or separate forcibly or abruptly. This week my 80 word story is calledShe hates Celery...Who knew?
Alice watched all the best cooking shows for weeks, even went online to down load the five star recipes for her first holiday meal. She was a newlywed and wanted
everything just right, so she spent most of the day cooking and decorating.
When their families arrived she was nervous but it seemed
her first holiday party was a hit, until she went into the kitchen. She watched
in horror as her mother in-law puck celery from her holiday stuffing.

Thank you....

A matter of garnishing.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed this.
If only she had simply said something in the first place.
DeleteThanks yarnspinner!
Horrible woman! Cooking Thanksgiving dinner is hard enough without a meddling mother-in-law in the kitchen!
ReplyDeleteGreat writing, Glynis!
LOL!! So very true Valerie!
DeleteThank you!
Haha I'm sorry, but the image of the mother in law plucking the celery from the stuffing made me giggle.... I could feel the horror on your main characters face! Great writing! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Flippa!
DeleteIt was a hot mess.....I'm so glad it made you laugh! ;)
It's things like this that are the reason why I don't cook! I know firsthand how gawdawful mother in-laws can be, but I hope your character didn't reach for a meat cleaver...
ReplyDeleteI would've been so irritated! I hope the MIL doesn't make any comments about the bird being dry, or it could take them weeks to find the body :)
ReplyDelete(I normally don't like celery, but cooked in stuffing it's quite yummy!)
Hilarious! Just like a mother-in-law!!!
ReplyDeleteA taste of her own medicine might show her to back off ;)
I don't like celery either! I would be right beside the MIL. Still, that's quite rude...haha
ReplyDeleteHaha! I love this one. Fun take on the prompt. Thanks for linking up. Don't forget to vote!
