I found myself a gorgeous girlfriend.
Being romantic, I carved our initials inside a heart on treetrunk and invited her to picnic with me beneath it!
I didn’t realise she was a tree-hugger. She was horrified. Said I’d scarred it. She gave me the finger and disappeared.
I needed a replacement with the same initials, urgently.
Coincidently, my mate’s gal was similarly ‘initialised’. He’s a bit of wheeler-dealer so I suggested he transfer her to me for a tasty sum, and he agreed!
I’ll spare you the unpleasant details of what transpired. Suffice to say we are both girlfriendless now. .

People can be so unreasonable!
I know, it’s not good enough!
Now we see the importance of doing a little research before we do the “unthinkable”!
I think that, you think that, he didn’t think that!
Poor bugger!
This made me smile. What a delightful take on the prompt.
Thanks Alicia!
Better luck next time.
He’ll need it, plenty of it!
Quite ingenious take on the prompt, Keith. Awesome!!
Thanks so much Suzette!
Well, I have to say I’m not surprised they ended up girlfriendless! You gave me a chuckle, Keith.
They deserved it! Thanks, Brenda.
<3)
Thanks, Beth!
OMG! Girlfriends can be traded?
Apparently girlfriends CANNOT be traded, lol!
Clearly not but seemed like a good idea at the time!
Haha! That last line gave me a laugh. Funny stuff, Keith!
Thanks, Nancy!
The bit “I needed a replacement with the same initials, urgently” made me chuckle.
After the effort he went to with the carving, it seemed the only option!
Tut tut. Too bad for them both.
Serves them right, I say!
🤣🤣🤣
Ha, I love that he had a tree-hugger girlfriend he tried to impress by assaulting a tree. 😉 Nice work!!
It certainly didn’t have the desired effect! Thanks, Patricia.
just like they say, there are more fish in the ocean. just keep looking. :)
Indeed, but maybe with a different bait!
Laughing from go to whoa with this story. And a truly satisfying ending for those two boys.
Mission accomplished, delighted to have amused you, Margaret.
In junior school a friend decided she preferred my boyfriend to hers and initiated a swap. I don’t recall being too upset 😀
How funny! The things kids do…!
it was destined to end that way
Sadly so!
Keith, you crack me up. A couple of young cads. Maybe they can hit the singles bars and hit on drunk chicks.
Good idea, I’ll suggest it and tell you how it goes! Cheers, Lisa.
Cheers, my friend!
Not a good idea, trading girlfriends for cash. I think you got off lucky this time 🙂
It seemed a good idea at the time!
That’ll do it every time. At least you can find another tree Pity the poor guy who tattooed her initials on his arm.
Initials on a tree is bad enough, but a tattoo!
Too true! Let’s imagine someday another couple with those initials will happen along and think this was made just for them. 🙂
Dear Keith,
I think these guys need an education when it comes to girlfriends. Delightfully whimsical story.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Both girl-friendless? Surprise surprise. lol
Ohhh that’s a bit of a pickle! Fun story!
