Once again, I chose to take part in Sioban’s Thursday Threads Challenge. Just like last week, this piece is to be more than 100 words, less than 250 words and contain a prompt from the previous week’s winner.
The prompt for this challenge is “You look great, and yeah, you’re worth a million bucks.” And, I dare say many of you know where this will take me.
:: The Outfit
“Are you going out dressed like that?”
“Excuse me?”
“Do you see what you’re wearing?”
“You know I see what I am wearing.”
“Didn’t you hear me mumble as you reached for the sandals?”
“You live in my head. Of course I heard you mumble. And, I do my best to ignore your mumblings.”
“Why do you insist on embarrassing me like this?”
“Are you serious? Folks don’t even know you exist. You are a figment of my imagination.”
“I am not a figment. I am just as much you as you are.”
“You are not.”
“Am, too.”
“Are not.”
“Are not.”
“Are too – hey! Wait a minute.”
“Ha! Gotcha. Could a figment of your imagination getcha like that?”
“Whatever. I’m the basis of this being – you just like poking your non-existent nose where it doesn’t belong.”
“Fine. But, you’re not going out in public dressed like that, are you?”
“Would you lay off my attire? I look fine!”
“Socks and sandals do not go together. I repeat; socks and sandals do not go together.”
“Socks and sandals go together like Ben & Jerry ice cream and a large spoon.”
“Figures you’d bring up ice cream.”
“Shoot, the socks and sandals look is way better than the low riding or baggy-ass jeans look. I rock this look! I look like money!”
“You’re right. You look great. And yeah, you’re worth a million bucks. Not.”
“I heard that!”
You are such a dork.
“I heard that, too!”
.|.
Had to laugh at the socks and sandals do not go together … something I would say to myself and wear them anyway.
Blessings – Maxi
I wear my socks and sandals proudly, Maxi. Nothing beats comfort. (Thanks for visiting. Glad you laughed!)
I bet you could totally rock socks and sandals. Just out of curiosity, do the socks have to match the sandals? 😉
White socks are best, Nancy. (or worst, as it were.) And I do rock the look. Just ask me! 🙂
Do you find the voice in your head uses a lot of ice cream examples and analogies in an effort to relate to and thereby influence you?
Yes! Yes I do! Are my voices talking to you, too? Run, GG. RUN! (And take a spoon!)
Forget the socks and sandals, let’s just go for ice cream.
You’re on! Separate bowls, please.
