I found myself a gorgeous girlfriend.

Being romantic, I carved our initials inside a heart on treetrunk and invited her to picnic with me beneath it!

I didn’t realise she was a tree-hugger. She was horrified. Said I’d scarred it. She gave me the finger and disappeared.

I needed a replacement with the same initials, urgently.

Coincidently, my mate’s gal was similarly ‘initialised’. He’s a bit of wheeler-dealer so I suggested he transfer her to me for a tasty sum, and he agreed!

I’ll spare you the unpleasant details of what transpired. Suffice to say we are both girlfriendless now. .

    Now we see the importance of doing a little research before we do the “unthinkable”!

    Well, I have to say I’m not surprised they ended up girlfriendless! You gave me a chuckle, Keith.

    In junior school a friend decided she preferred my boyfriend to hers and initiated a swap. I don’t recall being too upset 😀

    That’ll do it every time. At least you can find another tree Pity the poor guy who tattooed her initials on his arm.

        Too true! Let’s imagine someday another couple with those initials will happen along and think this was made just for them. 🙂

    Dear Keith,

    I think these guys need an education when it comes to girlfriends. Delightfully whimsical story.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle
