I’ve been telling you tales of My Friend Rosey since 2008, and to date, I have published 122 stories about her on my blogs! Here’s a little one, number 123! My favourites can be found on a dedicated site simply called My Friend Rosey.
My friend Rosey asked me round yesterday. She answered to door looking like an Egyptian mummy! She’d been using toilet paper to practice bandaging as part of the first aid course she’s doing for work
Her first session was on cuts and bleeding. Unfortunately, she passed out at the sight of the pretend blood, so ‘dealing with fainting’ was brought forward a week!
The lesson on artificial respiration was a hoot. She was ‘volunteered’ to clamber astride an inflatable dummy and pump its chest. With each downward press, she went ‘woo’ – ‘woo-woo-woo-woo’! Then the dummy joined in with ‘wee’ between presses – ‘woo-wee-woo-wee’ they went! Then its legs started popping up and down…and then it burst!
Anyway, I digress. She sent me a text. ‘Cum round try hendricks’ it said. Being my prefered gin, I naturally accepted. Actually, she wanted to practice the heimlich manoeuvre on me. She blamed in it on predictive text. Yea right! I should have guessed.
I’m delighted to report I came through it with all my ribs intact and yes, she did give a drop of gin!
Thanks to Priceless Joy for hosting Flash Fiction for Aspiring Writers and H R R Gorman for the picture.
A great fun story- hope it was real 🙂
…of course it was (not!) Cheers Flissie
Haha! Nice. I like how you used adults in your story.
Rosey is a like a child in an adults body!
Don’t think I want her working on me 😁.
I wouldn’t recommend it! Thanks Tannille
Clever tale. I love Rosie…
…and I love writing about her! Thanks Violet
Maybe with a little gin she’ll get the toilet paper right! Good story!
…just so long as she doesn’t cover her mouth! Thanks Loretta
Great story!
Thanks so much
Welcome!
Heeheehee! After practicing on you, a drop of gin was the least she could do.
Too true!
Hahahaha! Rosey is a hoot! LOL! Cute story, Keith!
What would I do without her? Thanks PJ
Rosey is not to be trusted with first aid. She is afraid of blood, with other procedures she may kill the injured.
That’s a scary thought!
Lovely story lots of humour.
Pleased you liked it Neel.
That’s interesting 😁
Such a silly story. I loved how you used to photo prompt to introduce Rosey, too!
That’s my Rosey!
Keith, I just found out this afternoon that InLinkz is doubling the price of their membership and I have decided I am not going to pay it. There will be no more FFfAW challenges. Thank you so much for your participation and I am so happy to have gotten to know you!
Help!
Rosey sounds a real character,
…putting it mildly! I don’t know what I’d do without her!
Hahaha! XD
Worth it for gin! 😀
