My friend Rosey was rushing to the railway station when she somehow snagged her skirt on a rose bush and ripped a little hole in it. Once on the train, she delved into her voluminous bag and produced a needle and thread from her emergency kit.
Just as she started stitching a fanciable young man sat in the next seat and needless to say, Rosey immediately struck up a conversation.
By the time they reached their destination, they’d had become attached – literally. Somehow, Rosey had sewn her skirt to his jacket!
Of course, she claims it was an accident – I’m not so sure.
Thanks to Rochelle for hosting and to Jean L Hays for the picture.
Prod the frog to see what’s going on!
Fun story, Keith

As for Froggie — I’m sending a bandaid. Unless he’s a she, and she’s gonna fall asleep for 100 years, and needs a prince (in frog form or not …) 😉
