“I call him my onion”, she said.
“I know, he’s certainly a man of many layers”, I replied as I put down my book, “as the saying goes, one should never judge an onion by it’s skin, or something like that”.
That’s not what I mean”, she said, dabbing her cheeks with a tissue, ”he’s forever driving me to tears, happy tears, sad tears”.
“Oh, now I understand. Dry your eyes and let me buy you a drink and a packet of crisps, what flavour would you like?
“Sour cream and onion please!”, she said as she cracked a smile.

I love what you did with the image prompt and where it led you, Keith. Layers, onions….tears. Brilliant. Love your artwork.
Thanks for your lovely comment, Suzette!
You are welcome, Keith.
Clever, Keith. I think he’s on a promise
You may be right! Thanks, Neil.
Oh, she’s got it bad! Wonderful little piece, dear Keith.
Seems she has, Nancy – thank you so much.
You got me laughing with just the first few lines. Thanks for the laughs, Keith!
That really pleaaes me, Maria, thank you.
Glutton for punishment, that girl.
It seems so!
Cute photo and an amusing story
Thanks so much, Sadje.
You’re very welcome ☺️
Its fun. We need this. Thank you for sharing. Greetings by Heidrun
Indeed we do. Thanks Heidrun
Great take Keith – not so much the man with many layers just one with a thick skin by the sounds of it🙌😊
Absolutely! Cheers, Ange.
Love this Keith
I’m pleased! Thanks, Di.
My pleasure.
Onions make you cry but they’re good to have around.
Life wouldn’t be the same without them!
Nice story. If he makes her cry so much, she may need to rethink this.
I’ll pass your suggestion on, Mimi!
and hopefully they will get married and wear matching onion rings.
Haha, brilliant, Beth!
Layers and layers… it’s the way of it, isn’t it?
It certainly is!
i suppose that’s what a relationship is all about. still, it’s sad when this kind of thing happens.
Ahh, some yummy crisps… yes please. Oh, and some dry white wine as well – of course!!
Dear Keith,
What a clever use of the prompt. Onions, indeed. 😉 Obviously, she’s fond of onions.
Shalom,
Rochelle
I love the humorous double entendre at the end.
Thoroughly charming conversation between these two lovebirds. <3 <3
