Weekend Writing Prompt #247

Posted on February 5, 2022 by pensitivity101

Sammi Cox is our host who has today given us FLUMMOX and 42 words to play with.
Fred was usually good at puzzles, but this flummoxed him.
Not wanting to be beaten, he tried to find a solution on the internet but to no avail.
In the end, he asked his 8 year old how to programme the VCR.

About pensitivity101

I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination and wacky sense of humour which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and am a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes! In November 2020, we lost our beloved Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005. We decided to have a photo put on canvas as we had for her predecessor Barney. We now have three pictures of our fur babies on the wall as we found a snapshot of Kizzy, my GSD when Hubby and I first met so had hers done too. On February 24th 2022 we were blessed to find Maya, a 13 week old GSD pup who has made her own place in our hearts. You can follow our training methods, photos and her growth in my blog posts. From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives. We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.

    I’m sure kids are being born with one of those chippy doo-dahs implanted in them these days!

    Hehe! My “smart TV” is smarter than I am since I still have no idea how to program it!

    Ha ha! And then did the 8 year old know what a VCR was? Good use of the prompt, pensitivity 🙂

    So did I. He looked at me and asked, “What’s a VCR?” 🙂 Cute story.
