Wandering Shop Stories 47

Prompt Word: Excuse

Peter and Chip were sitting together at the breakfast table giving Mindy a bit of a headache.

Peter burped, followed by “excuse me.”

Then Chip burped a little longer, followed by “excuse me.”

Then Peter burped longer still, “excuse me.”

Both kids were snickering.

Mindy decided that this wasn’t a battle she had energy for, so she picked up her coffee and went out to the parlor.

Peter said, “We should stop, she’s actually mad.”
