BEST KEPT SECRET by Granny Annie

Matilda cried and wanted to flee their home. Her father knocked softly on her bedroom door. “Go away” she demanded. He responded, “Let me in unless you want me to smash the door.”

Matilda tip-toed toward the door and reluctantly allowed her father entrance. He was carrying the most beautiful gown she had ever seen. She was totally enchanted by the beauty of the dress and by the gorgeous heart-shaped orchid corsage bouquet he brought in. “You are going to the lavish ball tonight and I am your date.” Her father was very handsome in his tuxedo and Matilda began scurrying around to get ready. She was filled with excitement. Her date had backed out but she would be able to share in the party with champagne, caviar and candlelight anyway.

It was the first time the village paid attention to  Matilda. They never realized she was the Princess and her father was their King. It has been a wall guarded secret until now. The date who had jilted her stood trembling as Matilda and her father entered the ballroom.

BELIEVE THE MIRROR by Granny Annie

The man was only SEMI-STABLE but I MARRIED him anyway. I believed he was a real SWEETHEART. Very little time passed before he began to ridicule my weight gain. I tried a fad DIET of SUCCOTASH and/or SQUASH. The mirror began to tell me I was looking good but he DENIED it. He did not believe I had found a SOLUTION. 

SINGULARLY I ran off to a secret URBAN area to find SOLACE . I have learned LATELY  that living alone is actually very nice.

HOW DOES COURTSHIP LAST by Granny Annie

It seems like only YESTERDAY that I waited at the airport terminal for him to exit the plane. We had both been filled with LAUGHTER as we embraced. Together we collected his luggage. He opened his suitcase and pulled out a crinkled brown bag that was somewhat damp. "This is for you" he said and I reluctantly took this strange GIFT, opening it to discover a small LOVELY bouquet of roses. The FLOWERS were carefully packed and looking as fresh as the moment he cut them for me in California.

Our courtship included lots of GENEROUS presents. He showered me with poetry books by Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Browning and other favorites. He would SURPRISE me with several pieces of precious jewelry. The first FEBRUARY on Valentine's Day after we met, he sent me a huge bouquet of roses to my work. It was a thrill to display them on my desk for people to admire and inquire...and envy:) He SPRINKLED me with gifts just the way women always hope a man will do. I would insist that he should stop being so generous, but he was STUBBORN and I was glad.

While he was giving me those gifts and entertaining me with laughter and excitement, he was preparing a lifetime of gifts by listening. After our MARRIAGE the glittery gifts faded away to be replaced with a new type of gift. My HUSBAND heard and remembered my wishes and made my every dream come true.

(This is a true story and I will always  miss him.)

DING-DONG by Granny Annie

The heart-shaped box of chocolate-covered Valentine candy was in the back of my car. Garret the creep had given it to me as I was leaving the parking garage. I was completely flummoxed by his approach and did not feel a bit of delight. Not only because I was on a diet but also because it was from Garret. He was not a person I cared to encounter.

Valentine's Day had come and gone and I did not realize the box of now sticky candy was in the back seat of my car. The candy was tightly wrapped which was a good thing. Garret was waiting for me again as I was leaving the parking garage. I tried to avoid him as he approached me and halted my car. He had looked in my car and saw the abandoned gift he had given me. He was incensed and reached in to grab it. As he inspected this puffy stuffed box he squeezed it then cursed as drippy melted chocolate poured out over him.

Late that same evening I heard the doorbell. “Who in the world?” I thought . I could see it was Garret and I was ready for him.

That night crime scene tape surrounded my property. I had been prepared with my small 25 pistol as Garret had tried to push through my front door.
