Now this is an interesting Tale Weaver choice from Michael this week as I was thinking the other day we hadn’t had one for absolutely AGES!!!
Michael’s challenge then:
This week create your own meaning for “suddubsome”. Be it animal, vegetable or mineral, real or imaginary let your imagination play with it.
Brian knew he was onto a winner. Marketing of new products was his forte and he had come up with the perfect name for a new washing powder to be used with the old dolly scrub boards.
After the second Big Bang that blew technology out of the window and things like auto washing machines were destined for the scrap heap, his Suddubsome products would sell like hot cakes as housewives had to return to the old ways of laundering their clothes.
Suddenly there would be a huge call for wooden barrels, dollys, scrubbing boards, and even the old mangles. He’d be rich beyond his wildest dreams and couldn’t wait to get started.
His wife was gobsmacked. Sometimes his imagination and enthusiasm got confused.
There was no way either she, or her friends, would deign to hand wash ANYTHING and ruin their manicures.

A scrub board is the only thing that I still have from my grandmother. I never used it but it has memories for me.
My great gran had a barrel and dolly.
I like that idea of a second big bang. Great take Di, thanks for participating.
Hubby and I often discuss what would happen should modern technology fail, then dinosaurs like us will be in demand because we do things ‘Old School’.
I’m not sure I could cope with ‘old school’ I’m too much ‘convenience school’.
Ha! I’m very popular as a chalker at darts because I can add up and take away without an electronic scoreboard or calculator!
A truly unique skill in these times.
I must admit I find it distracting seeing people adding up on their phones and then taking away on their phones too as it slows the game down and for players who can add up, it’s frustrating.
Could all be tactics of course!!!
Especially if they know what they are doing is irritating you. (:)
oh yeah!
With the 2nd Big Bang I’m guessing there might be even bigger changes – maybe the laundry will now be done primarily by the men folk!
Maybe, though my Hubby doesn’t mind a bit of hand washing, and I can remember having no washing machine and doing my sheets in the bath!
Second Big Bang will leave us all floundering. That is if we survive!
Horrible thought, but a possibility as we all rely too much on technology these days IMO
Hope it never happens.
That is a great take on the prompt. Loved reading this!
Thanks!
