“I’d catch a granade for ya.....”
Mrs. Jenny’s Saturday Centus prompt for this week could go in so many directions. I have read a few of the entries and am intrigued. Drop in over at Saturday Centus to learn all about this meme - the rules and all that. There you will find the posts that were fueled by this prompt. And don’t forget to follow Jenny on her awesome blog, “..off on my tangent.”
For a variety of reasons, which I will not bore you with, I have not participated for the last two weeks, but here I am, back again!
This one was hard for me, but here goes.
Her son, Michael, was running through the house repeating the phrase, “I’d catch a granade for ya...” and making motions as though to throw something.
Jane stopped Michael as he sped through the kitchen. “Where did you hear those words?”
“Joey’s big brother has a video.”
“Do you know what a granade is?”
“’Course I do. Everybody knows it’s a little bomb that you throw at the enemy. You know, like in Iraq, where Daddy is. But if you throw it at a friend, he catches it and throws it back, like, you know, a game. Joey’s brother told us.”
“Come sit with me, Sweetheart. We need to talk.”
