I bet, when you arrived at my humble abloge you had a preconceived idea of what you were to read.
You probably thought I’d rattle off some of those irritating lightbulb jokes. Like, how many teenagers does it take to change a bulb? One but you have to ask a hundred times.
Well, you’re wrong. When I saw the picture, I hoped for a bright idea. Maybe a romance between a light switch and a bulb entitled You Turn Me On, or …
… oh no, my light’s gone out. It’s pitch black. I can hear something. Someone. Who’s there? Hello, hello …

Poke Froggie to see what others have come up with!

Hopefully the lights will be back on in time for next week 🙂
Fingers knees and toes crossed!
Resistance is futile
So true, Neil!
Dear Keith,
I’d always heard that it takes one teenager to screw in a lightbulb. The teenager holds the bulb while the world revolves around him. 😉 A rather spooky ending today.
Shalom,
Rochelle
As lightbulb jokes go, that’s a good’n! Cheers, Rochelle.
Haha! Saved by the dark!
Indeed, thanks, Sadje!
You’re most welcome. I always enjoy your stories my friend
Stealthy footsteps in the dark always get on a person’s nerves, don’t they? Love the joke–will pass it on to some teens I know. 🙂
Too true, Christine! I’d love to see the expression on some of their faces if you do!
This took a dark turn, yet it left me smiling for some reason. Maybe it’s Laurie’s pixies bringing you new shoes.
That’s a thought! Thanks, Alicia.
Anybody home?
Sounds like there is! Cheers, Danny.
Fun take Keith……….. don’t forget most mobile phones have a torch facility!
Why didn’t I think of that? !!
Well you have now! Have a great weekend.
‘you light up my wife.’ (riff on an old Debbie Boone song ‘You light up my life)
Haha, I like that!
Ah, let’s hope it’s nothing and the lights come back up. There’s always hope, anyway.
Living in hope! Cheers, Mimi.
Nice wander through your mind here today, Keith. I enjoyed the joke… that one works long before they’re teens, although maybe I shouldn’t ask little kids to change lightbulbs…
No matter how many times Bill calls when he sees red the relationship runs out of energy.
imagination does grow wild in the dark. 🙂
Keith I love how you are speaking to the reader and we are there when the action takes place. So creative!
A great read and listen Keith even if you are in the dark, it lightens my day 😄
No darkness here, just a fun romp to the light!
Haha..good story and I never heard that teenager joke. I love it!
