On the edge

Fiction, Kindness, prompts

There was a loud crash as the plate slipped from the edge of the table and broke into tiny pieces.

After a moment of stunned silence, everyone jumped into action, some trying to collect the broken pieces and others making sure the kids were out of harm’s way.

Operation clean-up didn’t take long as many hands were helping in the task.

Now was the time for the inquisition!

“Who placed the plate there on the edge where it was sure to tumble down?”

Jack the youngest and the shortest came forward bravely, “I’m sorry granny but it was as high as I could reach” he said, his lips trembling in anticipation of a dressing down but what he got instead was a big hug from granny.

I am writing to express my opinion, share my experiences and to maybe provide some insight. My blog is addressing women at 50 ( but men are welcome to read my posts) ,their issues and the questions that come up at this stage in life. I don’t aim to teach, but to learn together.
