Mabel made the best pies. When her sister took ill, she needed to go to her, reminding Harold he’d have to bake for the fund raiser at church. Harold, half listening, nodded, wishing her a safe trip.
It was hours later he realized, he’d have to bake on his own. Gathering ingredients, he mixed and kneaded, baked, and checked, finally taking out the pie. It looked pitiful.
Trying to put one over on the parishioners, he purchased one from the next town. His attempt at trickery failed.
Lesson learned: Never try to fool they, in whose house you also pray.
June Writing Prompt – Except without her, he couldn’t make a decent pie – Day 25/30

An interesting tale! I’d have no hope of telling dear hubby to make a pie for the bake sale — or even mac & cheese for the potluck. 😉
I’d like to offer you another writing challenge: forget the 100-word limit, but retell this story totally in dialogue. Or as much as possible. I think it would be really interesting to read it as quick conversations.

My hubby cooks so not a problem for me. lol I challenged myself to write the 100-word stories because I wanted to see if I could do it. Perhaps I’ll revisit this at a later date, but I’m not really one to write conversation, except in my WIP. 🙂
