I found my friend Rosey sitting in her garage looking rather sad. “What’s up?” I asked. She said she’d lost some of her friends. I remembered a quote I saw online.
“In life we never lose friends, we only learn who the true ones are”
She adopted one of her confused expressions; not the ‘totally confused’ one, but the ‘not-entirely-sure-what-you-mean’ version. She shook her head and started burrowing through the rubbish. I ducked as a bucket flew towards me.
“What are looking for?” I asked.
“Friends” she shouted. Now it was my turn to look confused.
“Series three and five of Friends”.
Friday Fictioneers is hosted by Rochelle. Thanks to Douglas M MacIlroy for this week’s photo.
Ha ha
Delighted to have amused you!
A classic Rosey misunderstanding. To be fair, I did endlessly watch ‘Friends’ and series 3 is a classic 😉
Hands up, I’m a Friends addict and know some episodes word for word!
Dear Keith,
Since I never watched Friends this one sort of sails over my head. There are friends and then there are acquaintances. Sometimes it’s tough to learn the difference. Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Never too late to start! Cheers Rochelle.
It was a fun show to watch…
Teehee! I like your use of the bucket that features in the prompt!
I tried to find a use for it! Thanks Penny
Groan.
And really, adult males watch this program?
YES! Well, this one anyway!
Love it! Love Rosie!
That’s really nice of you Sascha, thank you
My teen is a ‘FRIENDS’ addict though I am not fond of it.
I LOVE it – so does Rosey!
Oh, the ambiguity of the English Language —further muddied by writers and TV producers!
Of course Shakespeare gave us Greek to me and Charles Dickens gave us Scrooge.
Glad to hear you and Rosie finally synced. Wasn’t there a “Neighbours” once, too?
It is all so confusing! As for Neighbours, it’s still going strong!
Funny. I love a twist like that at the end.
Thanks for joining in the fun!
Heeheehee! Good one.
Thank you Mimi
I admit I watched Friends when it was on… my sister re-watched them all with her daughters… Good one, Keith!
It’s on Netflix, every single episode,and I always dip in when I want a bit of fun!
I know it is! 😉
Ha! And yaaaayyyyy, Rosey’s back…with a bang!
Yep, she’s never far away!
Has Rosey gone completely mad?
She’s been getting worse by the story – I’ve written 112 about her over the past 9 years!
Ha! There’s friends and then there’s Friends – you can always trust the latter to be there for you (unless you’ve accidentally chucked them in the garage).
Wise words indeed! Cheers
Hah! Great take on the prompt.
Thank you kindly Sandra
Ha! This is so fun. Thanks for the laugh.
I’m really pleased that you enjoyed it Alicia
No wonder Rosey looked confused. But, I did like the quote never-the-less.
It’s certainly one I’ll remember! Thanks Brenda
Ha.. but isn’t it nice that some Friends can actually be bought…
It is indeed! Cheers Bjorn
did he get it? 🙂
Oh yes – you get used to Rosey’s odd ways after a while!
AH I admit I had forgotten all about Rosey till I saw her here today. Good to see her again.. Thanks Keith.
She’s never far away! Cheers Violet.
I knew I had seen thatquotation somewhere!
I like the idea of multiple expressions of confusion. Cute misdirection at the end.
It did require a bit of squinting to read it! Thanks so much.
Great play on words. Great write.
Thanks so much
This one made me chuckle and snort. Great stuff, Keith.
Delighted to have amused you kind sir!
Cute story, though I will admit I haven’t watched Friends so looks like I am missing something 😁
You ARE missing something! Cheers Jo.
This looks like one of those father and daughter moments!
It does! Thanks Liz
Rosy is a great character. I really got her straight away. Fun take, Keith. (More of a Frasier girl myself)
‘When Frasier met Rosey’ – now that’s an idea for a story!
A sweet story Keith. You have a soft spot for Rosie, don’t you ?
I do! Having been writing about her for a decade I sometimes have to remind myself she isn’t real!
Very good, you suckered me in completely to think this would end up a very sad tale.
Yea, it worked! Cheers Michael
LOL
Thanks Dawn!
Bahahaha! Very funny Keith!
Thanks Laurie
