I visited a fortune teller. Lately, I’ve been caught out by one surprise after another. I needed to know what was coming in advance.
She stroked her crystal ball, it sparkled, she murmured, then shouted, ‘do it!’
Really? I’d been putting it off for ages but apparently the moment had arrived.
‘All that glitters blah-blah-blah’, said my my mate, but I ignored him and bought a diamond ring.
We met in the park. I went down on one knee – I didn’t notice the dog poo, not a good start. I proposed….
It’s the last time I use that fortune teller.

Prod the frog to visit the squares!

Perhaps it saved you from something even worse 😅😂
You may have a point, Sadje!
That’s my point of view- my father taught me this.
Great story Keith. Not all proposals are the Fairytales one might expect.
Certainly not in my experience! Thanks, Suzette.
Agreed! Cheers, Keith.
Dear Keith,
Not exactly the stuff of RomComs is it? Made me laugh. Poor guy.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Certainly not!
Thanks so much, Rochelle
That’ll teach him to ask “Do what?”
No doubt about that!
$HIT HAPPENS!!
Very funny!
It certainly did in his case!
hahah = and yuck – kneeling in such muck did align with rejection
That it did! Thanks, Yvette.
😊
Keith, this cracked me up—especially “I didn’t notice the dog poo, not a good start.” 😂 The build-up is so earnest, and then that ending just flips everything. Loved the pacing and humor.
Much love,
David
I’m so pleased you enjoyed it, David, thank you.
I’m wondering whether he was unfortunate enough to have his proposal accepted.
I’d like to say yes, but I’m not too sure!
Keith, my lungs got a good clearing with your story. Anyone using fortune tellers to guide their lives are like those trusting the time to a broken clock that is right twice a day. One of your funniest ones yet.
I quite agree with you, Lisa!
I’m really pleased you enjoyed it, thank you!
I did. You are welcome <3
It’s best to be sure before you go so far, but at least now you know and can move on.
Very true, Mimi!
hehehehe!! very clever- I went with a fortune teller on this one too!
Thanks so much!
What a fun story.
I’m pleased you liked it, thank you!
Why is it we never ask for specifics? Methinks he might not be met in the manner in which he had hoped.
…and methinks youthinks right, Dale!
😉😁
oops! 🙂
Poops! Cheers, plaridel!
i’m thinking the proposal got accepted, that’s why he didn’t need the fortune teller again…
I’d like to thinks so, his unfortunate accident could have provided the humour the situation required!
who can resist the temptation of knowing the future?
Good stuff yes, bad stuff – not so sure!
Enjoyed. It was meant to be.
So it seems! Thank you.
Keith – you know what you didn’t do ….ask ‘Do what?’ – she might have said ‘run a mile’ or ‘get a hair cut’ even, ‘buy some new specs’, that is unless she just didn’t like you and could see what was coming…but I can’t see that happening😃 – made me laugh 😅
Jumping to conclusions is never a good idea! Cheers, Ange.
If he or she was the right partner for him, they would have laughed and accepted. If not, the poo is a bit of good luck.
Fun story, Keith.
Lol. I dare not even say better luck next time! Anyway probably had a lucky escape instead 😀
Oh no! Oh dear. Not his day.
Might be a warning.
Fun story either way.
