"Pedestrian" is an excellent adjective for run-of-the-mill prose, and it is totally NOT the right adjective for your writing. Your humility puts me to shame. (I like to say my prose reads well; it's my plotting and pacing that fall flat.) This is NOT pedestrian:

...her mother in law started screaming "Ice! Ice! you have to put ice on it right now!" The song "Sha Sha Da Shviga Kumpt", klezmer music's rendition of a very annoying mother-in-law, started up its doleful and repetitive melody in Sally's head.

and this!

...her father in law continued to read the paper not saying a word or offering any help at all.

You paint such a vivid picture of these characters with so few words. That is not "pedestrian" - that is the hallmark of great writers.
--I love the way you put Prompt One at the end, not the beginning, of the three prompts. :) And I love it that @mariannewest allows "cheating" of this sort.

Klezmer!

How many other people would think to mention Klezmer? I love you all the more for your mention of it.
