for Friday Fictioneers.
My friend Rosey rushed into the pub with a big grin on her face.
‘Guess what?’ she shouted interrupting our conversation.
‘Guess!’ she squeaked hopping up and down.
‘Do tell us’ pleaded Sally, ‘don’t keep us in suspenders!’
‘Drumroll please’ yelled Mike tapping his hands on the table.
‘Well … I just parked my car… between two others … perfectly!’
‘Wow,’ I said remembering the time I tried guiding her and she ran over my toe.
‘And, both wheels are exactly one inch from the kerb!’
Then her expression changed.
‘But there was no one there to witness it’ she sighed.
Thanks to Rochelle for hosting and J Hardy Carroll for the picture which immediately brought to mind some of the weird places Rosey parks her car!

Dear Keith,
I feel her pain and I laughed out loud. I once parallel parked. I managed to get between the two cars but how i managed to get both wheels on the passenger side on the kerb itself I’m not sure. I was kind of glad no one was there to see it. 😉 Cheers to Rosey. (one of my nicknames by the way).
Shalom,
Rochelle

That’s okay, Rosey, all they have to do is go out there and look and see for themselves that your car is right there, parked just where it should be!
