100 words!

.

.

Nosy Rosy they call her, peering here, peeping there. If she thinks there’s something’s going on she needs to find out all about it. 

She was walking down a road when she heard some kids shouting, ‘six, six, six’. There was a hole in the fence so she couldn’t resist looking through it to see what all the excitement was about. She got poked in the eye and the kids started shouting, ‘seven, seven, seven’.

That’s not put her off though. The other day she took a peek through my window. Modesty prevents me from telling you what she saw!

Poke a Froggie to visit the squares!

    I love this story, Keith. You wove great wisdom in telling Rosy’s story from the prompt photo. Well done.

    My first thought was Mrs. Kravitz, a character on the TV show, Bewitched. Now I’m thinking of her as a Peeping Tomasina! lol

    That is so funny Keith – I wonder what number the kids reached 😂

    That is a classic! Every time I watch a horror movie and there is a hole and some dummy looks through, I shake my head… usually something more than a finger gets ’em, though!

    How is your friend Rosie Keith? Liked your take on this today.

      I really don’t know! I may just give her a call and see what she’s been getting up to!

    Laughing here. Can’t believe you had the cheek to work the old hole-in-the-fence joke into your Rambling Rosy tale!

    Did you cry, ‘Eight, eight, eight’. Poor Rosy.

    One of these days, Nosy Rosy’ll see what she can’t unsee.

    Thanks for making me smile! I used to read the Harriet the Spy books and wanted to be just like her, so I’d spy on people in the neighborhood. They were never doing anything interesting though!

    modesty aside, it must be a big one to her surprise. 🙂

    haha, love the old six… seven joke (the new one is a favourite in this house too, but has a lot less humour!). Let’s hope Rosy learned her lesson about nosiness though!

    But…???
    Did she like what she saw?
    Fun story.

    Dear Keith,
    Nosey Rosey is a slow learner, isn’t she? Cute story.
    Shalom,
    Rochelle

    Nosy Rosy seems to have a compulsion, fun story.
