The prompt this week is the picture below plus 100 words.
A Fine Sunday
“My granddaddy worked on the docks across there. You listening, Llewellyn?”
“Sure.”
“Where’s your mind at this fine Sunday?”
“It’s nothing.”
Zelma patted the dog. “Our one day off together and your mind’s someplace else?”
“I’ve sorting out to do.”
She backed away. “Like what?”
“Things.” He swiped a forearm across his greasy forehead. “The Rover car factory is opening soon and advertising for workers.”
“You don’t know anything about…”
“I already quit…”
“The Missus cut my hours, and soon I’ll stop altogether.”
“Don’t worry— Stop?”
“I have news. You’ll be a daddy before Christmas.”
“Impossible.”
“This ain’t the Bible.”

This is wonderful, Tess. I almost missed how clever the last part was, I read it again and laughed out loud!
This cheered me up. Thank you. 🙂
Going to share. 🙂
