I completely understand and I wish I didn't. I am known for never knowing where I put my keys. I enjoyed reading your short story.

Great dedication to Misscookie, I am sure she will like it. Love the accent you used. For two church ladies they use some bad language when stressed-LOL. Funny: the dialogues, the glasses and then the car keys. Real Flash.

HA! ME too! I lose keys, cell phone, lose track of where I sit a glass of pop. Lose my darn tools. I can't stand it! BUT, it's funny when others do it! I'm bad. SO glad you liked this!! hug! Susan
Comment from N.K. Wagner
Of course it's funny, Suse. I've spent hours looking for things I've set down in a moment of distraction and forgotten about. It's my second biggest time-waster, the first being trying to remember where I've put things so that I'd know just where they are. I've done this since I was a kid. It's only gotten worse with age. :) nancy

Comment from Joy Graham
Hi Realist! This is a great story! I love these ladies. You could write a whole novel about them and I'd lap it all up :) I thought you were going to say she had the glasses on her head. Isn't that usually the case lol. After finding the glasses the car keys were missing. That is too funny!!!

Susan.,
This is wonderfully written with excellent dialogue of two aged sisters. The art work is priceless. This is me if I live to be older, I'm luck I live to be 50, 60 or more, but I plan to go out kicking and screaming. May finally found her glasses, but now has lost the danged car keys. I absouletly loved your dialogue rich story. Bravo, my friend. I immensely enjoy your great narrative voice and rich, detailed writing. In 350 (?) words you managed to established a setting, conflict, and a resolution to your well composed flash fiction. I'd recommend your outstanding story to other reviewers. Nice day to you, my friend.
Melissa.

I slept from 12 till 5am then I woke in pain & a migraine headache feeling putrid. I'll call you later in the day. I'm taking two Ultrum and get off the computer. This story rocked.

Comment from Phyllis Stewart
Sunday's were so pleasant << No apostrophe in Sundays
Except for that error, which you will surely correct asap, this is well written and clever. Very sweet story that makes us love these two ladies. The ending is absolutely perfect!

Hi Phyllis! I changed 'damned' to 'confounded'? What do you think? I have known folks to swear some, even tho they do go to church? I'm so glad you liked this, and do value your opinion! Thank you and yes, I will go fix that apostrophe too! hug, Susan
Comment from Trybuck
I don't believe the language is typical of the elder church ladies but everything else probably is. The sad thing is, we don't have to be old to forget or lose the little things.
Very well written, Buck

Hi Buck...I think I will change damn to darn. I thought that as I wrote. BUT, I have known several devout church people who swore like sailors...honest. I'm happy you enjoyed this...I love that photo! Thank you for being here Buck. Susan
Comment from psalmist
Although not quite as old as the pair in the picture, I can certainly relate to their predicament. A cute story. Excellent physical descriptions of the sisters: the tall almost domineering elder, and the short, busy younger. Also, I can "hear" their voices in my head. One deeper, more authoritative, the other high and squeaky. Great job.
