TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGIN' by Granny Annie
Louise often whispered, “Piffle, piffle” while she worked in the kitchen. Usually she was responding to some malarkey she was hearing on the television.
Her
grandson Eric wandered into the kitchen dressed in his favorite Ninja
costume. He questioned his grandmother about the meaning of the word
piffle. Louise told him it means something is just a lot of hooey.
"What is hooey" Eric asked next.
“Don't bother me Eric”, his grandmother demanded. “I am trying to make this guacamole and don't want you to lollygag in here. Now skedaddle."
Eric ran out of the kitchen to find his his mother and ask why Grandma spoke in a foreign language.
Most clever ever!!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteAs I told you earlier it even made me laugh. Thank you.
DeleteI really, really like your clever use of Alex's difficult words. And, as I said on my blog, I grew up hearing that foreign language and still speak a little myself.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I wish I could have used all of the words but I was happy to do a quick story with the first 6.
DeleteYou are SOOOOO good at this. I really enjoy what you write.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
DeleteThose were toughies and you got right into the time frame and belted them out. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteI love those first 6 words because they were all family words.
DeleteExcellent! I'm still working on my story.
