:D I'm not usually a funny person either. Most of my writing is dark.
Thanks for the link to today's one! I saw it earlier today but am in an unfortunate timezone and haven't had time to stop and concentrate for five minutes yet. (Ahh, the mother's life... maybe in a few hours when silence hits... hopefully just before the next prompt arrives!)
Had to read yours as we both began with "hook, line and sinker." So exciting to see where each of us take the prompts.
Sink the town celebration with soured milk :)
When I saw the prompt, "hook, line and sinker" just started going around and around my brain like a bad ear-worm; I couldn't think of anything else. So. I worked with it the best I could, haha! :D
Holy moly! I laughed through your delightful prose. This was so fun. The milk is so rank when left to curdle! When I was a child we still had milk boxes where they would deliver milk to the door. I will never forget how furius my mother was one day when I forgot to bring the milk in from the milk box.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D
And oh no! I bet you never forgot to bring in the milk again!
My experience was more self-imposed. The milk bottle was almost empty so I took it out of the fridge and just sat it on the counter, intending to throw it out. But, freshly moved out of home, young, naive, blissfully unaware of reality, I just left it on the counter. A week goes by and then, I see it... the bottle has expanded and now I fear to touch it to take it out to the bin, in case the slightest movement results in the worst explosion. Thankfully, it did not do such a thing. But I never left milk out again!
Haha, this is so cool. I love where you went with it :)
Thanks :D .... gassy milk bottles. My brain works in mysterious ways. (I've had run-ins with the expanding rancid milk bottle before... shudder...)
Nice post

Oh my word! I could almost SMELL the milk! Great freewrite!
Thank you! :D I'm sorry that the scent almost assailed you. ~shudder ~ One of the worst odours, haha!
