Book 3 of 5 in SILVER SERIES OF GROWN-UP WISDOM
It's part of human nature to make excuses, but has it become your last name? Sometimes, we can take it a bit too far!
Edith and Ellie have been best friends since childhood. Edith always seems to be the one with a dramatic song and dancewhen she needs an excuse not to participate in certain activities with Ellie. At other times, she seems very evasive.
Whether it's an invitation for dinner together, an outdoor concert, a recommendation to use an organic hair product, or even the suggestion of a walk or workout routine, Edith almost always answers Ellie without any hesitation in defiant justification.
"What else have you been up to, Edith? Tell me about that short storybook your daughter Evelyn gave you to read. What's the name of it again?" asks Ellie.
"That weird book? 'OOOH Crap! We Become What We Think About, '" roars Edith.
"Isn't that the dumbest name anyone's ever heard?"
"It says right here, 'Give yourself permission to start a new path.' What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
"It's a little too late for me to be starting a new path at 77 years old!"
"It's called a 'StoryBookPath, '" Edith says with sarcasm.
"And I certainly don't have time to hear about some ridiculous stories!"
"I'm no damn kid, that's for sure!"
Damn!...DAMN!!...and shit fire, shit!!!
Do you know anyone like Edith? Maybe YOU are Edith!
Perhaps this adult fiction, illustrated short story is worth reading.
