[Hate counting letters and spaces? Try Design 215's character counter, which will count for you as you type. Microsoft Word will count for you too, of course, as part of its word count feature under the 'Review' tab.] Here's this week's picture, and my story to go with it.
This is George. He was a good little monkey and always very curious. He drank his friend Alice's Irish coffee and now he's in a wonderland. (139 characters)
Okay, I know it's obviously a tea party, but I wanted to get something Irish in there in honor of Susan--who has brought the sun to the Pacific Northwest! Have a great week, everyone.
I love it! And Susan has indeed brought sun to the northwest! She's in Seattle today and we just spent over an hour on the phone! What fun! Always been a fan of Curious George! Have a great week, Michael!

Michael;
ReplyDeleteOne of my childrens' favorite books and with a salute to the Northwest ad Susan what's not to like! Have a nice evening.
Curious George--I loved reading those stories to my kids! I missed the one with the Irish Coffee. Thanks for filling in my Curious George gaps.
ReplyDeleteI'm just going to Hello because I'm too exhausted from writing my last microfiction.
ReplyDeleteROFLMAO!! I could use a trip to wonderland myself -- will have to work on that this week!
ReplyDelete(I loooooved this)
Great combination of all three elements in your MM. I love it. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteThis is my favourite. I've never read Curious George, but now I feel like I have!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful microfiction.
So THAT's how you get to Wonderland! Excellent story.
ReplyDeleteThat was a fun take. I can just imagine the Mad Hatter off scene :-)
ReplyDeleteGosh, that George has a problem, doesn't he? I seem to remember a story about him inhaling a jar of ether.
ReplyDeleteAnd little Alice looks such an innocent too! Great take :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's the hat of the Mad Hatter before it's skinned... My 140 story
ReplyDeleteWhen I read these to my daughter she'd say "No George!" over and over and then slam the book shut. She wouldn't let me finish. She finally wouldn't let me read them anymore because "that monkey NEVER learns!" Now that she's a teen I just laugh, and laugh, and laugh...
ReplyDeleteGreat MFM -- thanks!
Michael , that was a literary delight...well done! Really!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if George liked his visit to WOnderland, Nice Michael, sorry I am late visiting.
