Hiccups and Fairy Dust: On the Snippet

On the Snippet

I'm snippeting again. The last snippet came from my son. He actually heard an employee say that to a customer once in a fast food restaurant. I'm not clear on any other details, but the images created in my mind by that quote are awesome.

Here's a new snippet for you. I hope you can have fun with this one.

"Let me try that. It's not magic."

Wow. Wouldn't today be the perfect day for a massage and a hot bath, and a glass of wine with apple slices covered in caramel? I think so. The beat moves on drummers. Until tomorrow.

Critter's Mom said...: Ooh, I wanted to comment on the snippet, but now I'm distracted by the thought of apples and caramel... Well, here goes:

"Let me try that. It's not MAGIC. And we all know that I'm no magician."
(The crowd snickers.)
I reach up and scratch my bulbous, red nose, and stomp my left foot in the same motion. These silly clown boots make a great thumping noise, and I look truly ridiculous.

Post a Comment

This is where you can post a photo challenge guess, or a comment on what you see here. I'd love to hear from you!

Photo Challenge Rules

1. I will post a new photo each week on Thursday, so look for it and try to guess where the photo was taken.
2. To win the prize, post your guess in the comments here on my blog. The first correct answer wins.
3. Be as specific in naming the location as you can.
4. Let me know how to contact you, in case you win, so I can get the prize to you.
5. If you send me an email with the correct guess, it will count, but I'd prefer to have answers posted on the blog. That way, others can see your guess and use it as a clue.
6. Answers by phone or in person don't count. However, now and then I will give someone a hint if they ask me in person. In such cases, I'll post the hint on the blog, as well as on my Facebook page for everyone to see. And I might Tweet it too.
7. On Wednesday, I will announce the winner. You have from the time the image is posted on Thursday, through 7am on Wednesday to get your guesses posted in the comments.
8. My husband and kids are not allowed to participate - sorry guys. Please don't bribe them for the answer, unless the bribe is something yummy they can share with me.
9. Most importantly, pass this on to your local friends. The more the merrier!

Remember, all photos will be taken in the Kennebunks (Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Lower Village, West Kennebunk or Arundel).

SNIPPETING

Here's how you Snippet...
I will post a literary "snippet" - a tasty little morsel of verbiage that I've found in a book, movie, song, conversation, or just pulled from thin air.
Your job is to add to it. You can add a beginning and lead into the snippet, or you can work from the snippet, heading to an ending. You can write a song with it, or a poem, or just add another sentence, paragraph or dissertation. How much you add and in what direction is completely up to you.
Be sure to read the responses that others have posted. That's half the fun. But, you don't have to continue on from someone else's response.
Click on "Comment" and add your response to the snippet there.
Share this blog with your friends, so they can play too.
