Trifextra: Week Nineteen
challenged us to complete the phrase “It wasn’t the first time” in 33 words excluding the prompt words. Here are my two responses. Thank you for dropping by and reading. 🙂
———————————
LITTLE BOSS
“It wasn’t the first time he said ‘I’m the boss’.” Daddy observed.
“That’s cute.” Mommy giggled.
“I’m worried.”
“He’s four!”
“This toy’s ugly!” Said a little voice. CRASH!
Mommy cooed. “Sorry, Sweetie. Do you want a new one?”
BLIND
It wasn’t the first time that her heart was broken.
Over his promises that held no meaning.
He cares not. When will she ever learn?
Yet when he calls…. sigh! … she comes running.
Heart, don’t do the thinking.
MY WALL 
These are both wonderful Imelda, but didn’t the instructions say not to use the words they gave?
Thanks, K. hmmmmm, I understood it to mean that I can add 33 more words to the 5 word prompt for a total of 38 words. Oh my! The Office is beckoning. 😀
I loved the second one and I loved the line … “Heart, don’t do the thinking”
Wish it is that easy to do. 🙂 Thank you for the visit and the comment, Ruby. 🙂
Lol. Like the little boss! Ive met some of those!
Yeah, there are plenty of little bosses around. 🙂 Thank you for the visit and the comment, Sandra. 🙂
Imelda! You keep blowing me away with how you capture life moments so well!!!! You have a great knack for it.
THANK YOU very much for the lovely words, Chelle. 🙂 Your feedback is a source of encouragement.
yes, measured words and well thought-thoughts go together! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the nice words, as always, Noel. 🙂
Eeks! Little bosses scare me. Even scarier is that the little ones seem to know so much about wielding power.
I liked the line about the heart not doing the thinking on the second one. I do think it’s best for the brain to keep a heart in check 🙂
Thank you for dropping by, Janna.
Little bosses do scare me quite a bit too. I shudder to think at how they will be as teenagers. Regarding the second one, it is one of those ‘easier said than done’ things. Yay!
I have myself a Little Boss right here with me, asleep in my bed! And what a battle it is between Heart and Brain when it comes to tragic love! Both great finishes to the prompt, Imelda!
Thanks a lot, Sandra. We mothers easily get charmed by the bubbly laughter and the sweet smiles. 🙂
No. Don’t let him grow up to be a little tyrant! 🙂
So true. Each night, I pray that my little ones turn out right. One tyrant is hard enough to handle. 4 is a little too much. 😀
Gosh, haven’t we all been there with some guy who doesn’t really care about us?
So true. 🙂 Thank you for your visit, Justkeepinitreal.
Love is indeed blind and heart driven, which can stink! As long as the Little Boss doesn’t grow up to break things, I am sure that he will be the greatest boss wherever he is at!
Thank you for your visit, Maya. One can only hope about that little boss. 🙂
Thanks for linking up with Trifecta this weekend. Funny about the little bosses–they have me completely prepared to re-enter the workforce. There’s no way I’ll ever be up against someone more demanding. Or controlling. Or self-important. They probably won’t be as cute, either, but. . .
Hope to see you back again soon.
Thanks, Trifecta. 🙂
