After taking a little hiatus from Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop, I’m back this week. This is my prompt:
2.) A time you were tricked.
Although Motor Man and I have only been married 10 years, we’ve known each other for 40. He’s the biggest practical joker I know. And no one is exempt: not his business associates, his racing customers, his friends, his family, and certainly, not me.
In the early days of our “courtship”, we were driving along the highway one day, and this conversation ensued:
Motor Man: “Did I ever tell you about the time I saved a little girl’s life when she was falling off a quarter horse?”
Me: “NO! You saved a little girl on a horse?!”
MM: “Yeah. It was a quarter horse.”
ME: Where did this happen? Did you know her? How old was she?” (I should have been a reporter.)
MM: “It was up near Farm Fresh.” (a local grocery store)
Me: “What happened? How did you save her?” (I wanted details.)
MM: “Well, she was falling off and was really scared, and I saved her.”
Me: “What did you do? How did you stop the horse?”
