Punctuality, he counted on brought her around the corner on the count of three two one. Gesturing to the light he shrugged no knowledge of its plight. Busy in the back, she didn’t see the corners of his mouth trying not to curve upwards into a smile. The printer soon purred and pulsated into readiness, as she said “Its fixed.” “How?...I did all that, I wiggled the plugs, I tried to get it to work, I didn’t want to have to call you” he lied.

What a delightful read, it flowed right along telling a story I can definitely relate to. And I do think at times...perhaps often times...men "play dumb," just so they can watch us women wiggle. Hahaha! |

I laughed out loud as I read this! I'm sure he appreciated both well-done wiggles, and I appreciate the telling. |
