She’s back again!

Rosey winkMy phone ding-a-linged”.

“Keithy” yelled my friend Rosey. “You won’t believe what I’ve seen!”

I rarely believe what she says she’s seen!

“A  pink washing machine! Can you order it, please? My laptop always messes around and gets me the wrong thing”.

She texted me the link. Something else for her vast collection of Barbie dolls and accessories!  

You should have seen her face when I delivered it!

“I can’t do my washing in that tiny thing, and why’s it £149.99?”

“It’s a toy,” I said, “£14.99!”

“I need new reading glasses,” she said. “I saw some online. Can you…”.

“NO!”

    Haha! Reminds me of my aunt. She treats laptops like they might explode and always gets me to order her things, and complains I got the wrong thing.
    Great story, Keith!

        There is a certain fear factor with a computer isn’t there? You have to overcome the idea of ‘press one button and everything vanishes’ I think.

    Looks like a fun toy and Rosie’s young at heart; she might enjoy it. Don’t let her order reading glasses online, though.

    It is lovely to see that Rosey is back in the stories, if only she could read all about it.

    Dear Keith,

    I love the winking picture of Rosey. I can see where she would frustrate him. 😉 Cute.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

    Poor Rosey! I don’t know about pink, but there are places here where you can order appliances made to look like those from the 1940s, and in the pastel colors, too.

    Glad she is back. I’ve missed Rosey. A good deal at such a low price. Fun story, Keith.

    Tell Rosie that she can find the solution on my response to the prompt Rochelle decided to post … 😉 (well, if Rosie can find her reading glasses …) 😉
    As for the origin story of this machine … My friends had gotten sick of my complaining about how there’s no washing machine in my apartment and no laundry room in my NYC building … so they got me this to make sure I can no longer say I have not got a washing machine … 😉 Also, for extra credit, it actually spins, makes noise, and uses emergency lights … It’s a disco in a laundromat.

      Your friends certainly have a great sense of humour, and the little machine sounds great! I’ll send Rosey your way – she’ll think it’s a brilliant idea, I’m sure!

        Ha! My friends are … well … silly. Which is not THAT strange, given that I am … well … too … 😉
        It’s a cool little gadget. In case of an emergency, I think you can attach it to the roof of a police car and it can double as emergency lights … (the lights in the machine rotate from blue to red to white …). 😉 Tell Rosie she’s always welcome.

    You’d be bored silly without her I bet. Everybody needs a Rosie.
