The Bickers- a Magpie Tale About The Pencils

Scrolling down through the other Magpies will tell the whole tale....




"Man, I hate it when you do that."
"What?"
"When you do things ass backwards for no reason."
"Like?"
"THAT!"
"That, what?"
"Putting the pencils POINT UP where I can't get one out without getting graphite all over my fingers."
"What about when you leave the seat up? Does that count as ass backwards or ass wet-wards? You do THAT all the time."
"What about when YOU leave the cap off the toothpaste? What about when YOU put the toilet paper on the holder upside down? What about not covering food when you put it in the fridge? What about that stupid fish key chain that cost us $350.00?"
"You stretched out my shoes. That is all I have to say about THAT."

    have you been listening in on conversations in our house..this sounds very familiar! This Magpie is way too funny and should come with a warning to remove all material from the mouth before reading!

    He leaves the seat up AND wears HER shoes? Did I get that right? Lyn says Splitsville coming up but you can't do it. The characters are too good together!

    I love this! And the clever way you weave those Magpies in and out of your prose.

    lol......that wet-ass bit I can relate to being the only female in the house! Each week I wait with bated breath to see where the story's going - and you always come up trumps for the prompts!
