Three Things Challenge: PL65

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: nephew, fern, spaghetti

Food Fight

By Teresa Smeigh 2019

Jamie, my 2 year old nephew, was happily pulling the fern out of the pot when I called everyone to dinner. We were having spaghetti, which isn’t exactly good for a toddler to eat. He has trouble picking up the long, thin noodles with his fingers and forget a fork. Someone would have to feed him.

His mother filled his plate and put it on the high chair tray while she went to get his little fork out of his diaper bag.

All of a sudden he grabbed a handful of the cut up spaghetti and tossed it across the room as hard as possible and hit me on the back. I turned around and without thinking grabbed the spaghetti on my plate and threw it at him. Food fight!
