Three Things Challenge: PL63
Rules from originator:
Welcome to the Three Things Challenge. Every day at 10PM (PST) I will post three seemingly unconnected things that will, hopefully, ignite your muse. You don’t have to use all three things if you don’t want to. There are no restrictions on length, style, genre, or anything. Simply read the prompt, see where your muse takes you, and bring us along for the ride. Use 3TC as a tag if you’d like and link back to this prompt, or post your link in the comments below so others can find you.
Happy Writing! 😀
Today’s prompt: sugar, certificate, golf

Ignored
By Teresa Smeigh 2019
Dad was watching golf on the TV and ignoring me completely. He was drinking his coffee loaded with sugar as usual and completely tuned out to the world.
“Dad, I got a certificate for my writing class for the best story,” I enthused. “Dad,” I yelled at him.
Slowly turning towards me he seemed to come out of his reverie and said, “What?”
“Oh dad, I was telling you about my certificate for the best story in my writing class.”
Turning back to the tv, he mumbled, “That’s nice, good job.”
Shaking my head I turned to find mom, she would be excited for me.
