Jocelyn and Jody
Jody: Mommy?
Jocelyn: Yes, dear?
Jody: (points to a nun, seated across the aisle) Is that a penguin?
Jocelyn: No, that’s a nun.
Jody: That’s what Daddy told me.
Jocelyn: (frowns) What did Daddy tell you?
Jody: I asked if there were any penguins here, and he said there’s none.

Meghan and T.J.
Meghan: You going to Tim Horton’s today?
T.J.: I wasn’t planning on it, why?
Meghan: It’s Camp Day.
T.J.: Oh yeah! No. I’m not going to Tim’s.
Meghan: You don’t want to send a kid to camp?
T.J.: Not really. I don’t think any kid should be subjected to that many mosquitoes.
Meghan: But it’s not all about the mosquitoes.
T.J.: Not to mention the spiders, snakes, raccoons, bears …
Meghan: You never went camping as a kid, did you?
T.J.: How can you tell?
Meghan: ‘Coz there’s so much more to it than that.
T.J.: Like what?
Meghan: Sleeping in a tent, canoeing, the campfire …
T.J.: Finding out there’s a rock in the middle of the tent when you’re trying to get to sleep, getting caught in a sudden storm in the middle of the lake, melting the toes of your sneakers because you’re freezing to death … I have friends who went.
Meghan: McDonald’s?
T.J.: (nods) It’s for the kids.

For some reason, Winston likes to sit on my shoulder. You can’t see it here, but his front paws are up there too.
I think he thinks he’s a budgie.
If you would like to participate in this prompt, feel free to use the “One-Liner Wednesday” title in your post, and if you do, you can ping back here to help your blog get more exposure. To execute a pingback, just copy the URL in the address bar on this post, and paste it somewhere in the body of your post. Your link will show up in the comments below. Please ensure that the One-Liner Wednesday you’re pinging back to is this week’s! Otherwise, no one will likely see it but me.
NOTE: Pingbacks only work from WordPress sites. If you’re self-hosted or are participating from another host, like Blogger, please leave a link to your post in the comments below.
As with Stream of Consciousness Saturday (SoCS), if you see a pingback from someone else in my comment section, click and have a read. It’s bound to be short and sweet.
Unlike SoCS, this is not a prompt so there’s no need to stick to the same “theme.”
The rules that I’ve made for myself (but don’t always follow) for “One-Liner Wednesday” are:
1. Make it one sentence.
2. Try to make it either funny or inspirational.
3. Use our unique tag #1linerWeds.
4. Add our lovely new badge to your post for extra exposure!
5. Have fun!

Farmer Brown (and Drew)
Farmer Brown sits at the window. Drew takes the seat beside him.
Drew: Nice cowboy boots you got there.
Farmer Brown: Thanks. I got these when I got my horse. She died just yesterday.
Drew: No!
Farmer Brown: (shrugs) It happens.
Drew: That’s true. It’s a funny life we have here on this green earth. Here one day, gone the next. It’s fleeting, and yet we take it for granted. One day each and every one of us will be forgotten. Still, I’m sorry for your loss. So what will you do now?
Farmer Brown: Buy a new pair of boots.

The lovely Sally Cronin has featured my book once again in her review update from her Book Store and Cafe! Please check out all her other posts and her health column while you’re there! Thanks, Sally! ❤
Drinking a glass of wine tonight. Something I don’t do often anymore.
Thinking about shutting off the laptop. Something I never do before it’s time to go to bed.
But it’s been so long since I last listened to music and read a book.
With a glass of wine.
They forgot to put tartar sauce on my Filet-O-Fish yesterday. It’s still pissing me off.
Enya. I think I’ll listen to Enya.
No more editing today: I’ve been doing it non-stop all weekend. Between Candy Crush.
I hate Candy Crush.
If you say, “Well then, just stop playing it!” you’re showing you just don’t understand Candy Crush.
Stephen King is good. I think I’ll read Stephen King.
I haven’t changed out of my pyjamas today. I’m drinking wine in my pyjamas. Pyjamas that I put on last night.
Joyland. I started it a few nights ago. Enya and Joyland and wine.
Sounds like an excellent combination.
With no laptop.
Yeah.
May never forget the Filet-O-Fish. Dry fish. Oh, the irony.
Note: Adult theme.

Drommen (and Phillipa)
Drommen sits at the window. Phillipa takes the seat beside him.
Drommen: Nice afternoon.
Phillipa: Yes it is. I do love it when the sun is warm with a gentle breeze coming off the water.
Drommen: I agree. Listen, do you mind if I masturbate?
Phillipa: Not at all.
Phillipa takes off her sunglasses. Drommen gasps.
Phillipa: What?
Drommen: You have the most stunning blue eyes I’ve ever seen.
Phillipa: (smiles) Thank you. Now, you were going to show me something?
Drommen: (staring into her eyes) I don’t know if I can.
Phillipa: (laughs lightly) Why ever not?
Drommen: I … I’m lost … Lost in your gaze.
Phillipa: Well, I could shut my eyes, but that would defeat the purpose, wouldn’t it?
Drommen: (whispers) Yes.
Phillipa: Perhaps another time then? When you’ve gotten over the shock?
Drommen: (whispers) Yes.
Phillipa: (stands) This is my stop. (holds out hand) It was nice meeting you Mr. …
Drommen: Drommen. (shakes her hand) Jake Drommen.
Phillipa: It was nice meeting you, Jake Drommen.
Phillipa gets off the bus, leaving Drommen totally limp.

Hillary (and Sean)
Hillary sits at the window, looking at an iPad. Sean takes the seat beside her.
Sean: Whatcha got there?
Hillary: Jake gave it to me.
Sean: Ooooh, things are escalating. He found out what a great cocksucker you are, huh?
Hillary: Why do you have to be so crude? And no, I didn’t suck his cock. He just gave it to me ‘coz he likes me.
Sean: He’s expecting it though. No guy gives things away without expecting something in return.
Hillary: No, that’s just you.
Sean: Pfft. Wait and see.
Hillary: No YOU wait and see. Jake’s a gentleman. You’re just a dick.
Sean: HA! A gentleman who plays with himself on the bus. HA!
Hillary: Shut up. He doesn’t do that anymore.
Sean: That’s what you think.

I admit it: I wasn’t thinking straight when I came up with today’s SoCS prompt. If I had, I’d have realized that because my real favourite word isn’t fit for a family-friendly blog, I’d have to come up with another “favourite” word that wasn’t really my favourite. If I’m nothing else, I’m honest. However, the real reason I wanted to use this prompt was to see what other people’s favourite words are.
The question comes from my memory of watching “Inside the Actors Studio.” (The lack of an apostrophe is something I’d never noticed before. My editor’s brain has given me new insight–love it when that happens.) I remember thinking that if they asked me the same ten questions they ask the guests on the show, my favourite word would be the same as my favourite curse word. And I also remember thinking that if I answered the question honestly, I’d blush. I loved watching that show – I’m amazed to find upon researching it that it’s still running. Twenty-two seasons and counting.
I found this from the show:
I have so many second-favourite words, I can’t pinpoint one. Phenomena, because it reminds me of the “Me na me na” song from the Muppets; moist, because it’s the underdog of all words for some strange reason; coffee, by association; magic, because of what it represents to me; there are so many!!
But my favourite word of all …
…
…
Nope. Not telling.
