The Chopsticks!
 |
| Copyright: Mary Gail Stratford |
I was bored of staying alone in my little apartment. I
decided to go to the Chinese Restaurant down the street for dinner. My troubles
started when the waiter brought the noodles that I had ordered. I’d to eat with
chopsticks, not a fork and I was terrible at it. I’d already spilled a lot of
it on my dress and as I was trying to ensure that more food went into my mouth rather
than on my dress, I heard a familiar voice saying, “You still have trouble with
the chopsticks, don’t you?”It was him! My long lost love!

Isn't that always the way? I want to know how the story ended!
Yes it is Cindy 🙂 Okay I will write another part to the story 🙂
Well written Mich.
I agree with Cindy, you need to write another post on this. 🙂
Thank you Lance 🙂 And as I told Cindy, another post will come up. But maybe after a few days 🙂
I like how you mixed two stories here- the chopstick difficulty and the love life 😉
Thank you Soumyaa 🙂
I have to say my chop stick abilities have not improved with age 🙁
Even mine haven't improved Liz! Thanks for reading 🙂
What a delightful story – even if she is wearing the menu. Very clever and that's when people run into someone they would rather impress. Poor girl, I hope she gets a second chance at love with "him." Great story! Nan 🙂
Thank you Nan 🙂 I'm glad that you liked the story 🙂
What a fun story! I could relate about the chopsticks. I liked the ending line where the long lost love shows up. So then what happened?

Dear Reema,
Relationships and chopsticks can both be difficult. Nice one.

Rochelle
Thank you Rochelle 🙂
Reema, My first comment disappeared, so here's a second one: Good and well-written story. If he loves her, a little spilled food won't matter. 🙂 —Susan
Thank you Susan 🙂
Nice read Reema.:) Are the two characters now together?
Thank you 🙂 I will write another post on that 🙂
Reema this is such a funny story, written only in 55 words, but conveys so many emotions.
Thank you ma'am. But it is written in 100 words.
Intriguing madame.
