Welcome to Microfiction Monday,
where a picture only paints 140 characters.
Susan at Stony River has begun a Microfiction Monday wherein participants write a story in 140 characters based on a particular image that Susan has chosen for the day. Design 215’s Character Counter helps keep track of the number of characters. It’s a fun exercise in creative conciseness…or concise creativity…
The picture for today and my take on it:
Annie was looking for the box of dress-up clothes, but what she found convinced her she wasn’t in that much of a hurry to grow up after all.
Stray Thoughts 
I wouldn’t want to play dress up in a corset either! Those things were some kind of torture device.
Congratulations on 30 years of marriage, those pictures of the two of you are very sweet.
LOL, how fun! Love the exercise and your micro-story. Hmmm, maybe it *would* be fun to try on a corset… :~D
A new theme? I can’t be for sure cuz I’m house sitting and doing this on my iPhone. No computer here. It’s wonderful :). I love your story. Annie seems wise in her young years. LOL. well done
Dang typo in my email in the above comment.
That is so true! I had a square dance dress with a corset built in — oi! Torture. First I can’t breathe, then I’m supposed to dance?
LOL! Annie sounds like a verrrrrry smart little girl!
I’m with Annie. Breathing is definitely on my list of things I like to do.
Okay I’m back at my house and it wasn’t a new theme. But boy did it come out different on my iPhone 🙂 LOL
That’s great!
Phew! Too right – there are a few things kids see and wonder whether growing up is really what they want to do… hmmm, men not growing up… there’s something in there 😉 Great capture of subdued expectations!
Poor Annie! Who could blame her? And whooooo put a corset in a dress-up box, was it Grandma who didn’t want to ever wear it again? ROFL
I love how you did this one!
Happy 30th Anniversary–that’s a wonderful milestone. Congratulations!
That’s almost a good enough reason to NOT want to be a girl!
Well done! Wishing you all the best for 2010!
