Yes, I know this isn’t a 6 word story, but yet check again. Look at #1 and all you need to do is add 1 more word to it. Here you go. “The wife is always right…TRUE!” 🙂 🙂 🙂
Yes, it is our 21st Anniversary today and these rules are why we have had such a Happy Marriage! LOL! Kidding, well maybe 😉 My poor hubby, he is going to wish he had his own blog. Ha! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY To the One who still HOLDS my HEART! ❤ ❤
Now for one of my 7 word stories. …. Fell for you once… still falling now!
And here is a 6 word story…. Restaurant, wedding, party….Intrigued, I knew.
To explain my 6 word story a little more. We met at a Rehearsal Dinner for the wedding for mutual friends. It was a New Year’s Eve wedding and I went to a party with him after the wedding. Before flying 500 miles away back home the next morning. As I flew back home I felt like I was 10 feet tall and walking on the clouds. I knew I had met someone very special and 21 years later I am still RIGHT! Refer back to the top of my post, to the Number 1 six word story 🙂
Congratulations to both of you (poor Brad!). As for the “poor Brad”…. “stay tuned to this channel” and all will be revealed in approx 30 minutes!

Thank you Judy! It is a fun story to tell, makes you think of the movies, but this was real 🙂 Looked across the table at him at the Rehearsal dinner and I was hooked, LOL! I maybe should have pointed out how they were mutual friends of ours who were getting married, but me and him had never met before, due to the distance.

“Poor Brad” (For Dec 16)
(Copyright Colin & Melanie Chappell 2016)
So many years ago
He found himself a bride
Her parents were so glad
At last now she was going
At last she was leaving their home
Everyone was happy… poor Brad.
*
Her sisters were delighted
That she was getting wed
It was no secret they were glad
They stifled their smiles
As she walked down the aisle
They couldn’t help thinking… poor Brad
*
He suffered her humor
Put up with her quirks
And then a child they had
Dizzy with excitement
Illogical as ever
Carolyn was a challenge… poor Brad
*
A second child followed
Much to Carolyn’s delight
And Brad was, once again, a Dad.
“Dizzy Lizzy” was confused
Puzzled and rather perplexing
But our thoughts go out to poor Brad.
*
So many years have now gone by
So much time has passed
Was it really all that bad?
Well by all accounts
At least from what we hear
All we can say is …poor Brad!
*
Now at their 21st anniversary
We just shake our heads
She’s quite mad!
We’ve known her for almost a year
And she does have really nice kids
But… we just have to say… poor Brad
*
Brad is surely a martyr
Suffering the confusion
It really is quite sad
For Carolyn, being so short
If she asked what we thought… we’d say
It’s alright for you… but… poor Brad!
*

OH gee, I feel so ….. unable to find the right words to express my deep gratefulness! They just are not coming, other words are, but not thankful ones 🙂
There is one thing I am pretty confident of though and that is the fact that you are probably not seeing much light right now. When you are down DEEP in a hole it tends to be pretty dark! Just saying….:)

” I don’t know seem to not be able to find the right word again!” What on earth does that mean? You have a double negative (“don’t” and “not”), and “I don’t know seem………..” which is a bit of a challenge to understand! Care to try again?
