I remember when the
electricity went out
at our house. The
only candles my mom
could find were
birthday candles.
***
But each time
she lit one
one of us would
make a wish and
blow it out.
***
In short order
the two of us
had stored several
wishes a piece
***
Mom told us to
stop immediately
and find
something else to do
***
Like, sing a song.
***
So my sister and I sang
“happy birthday”
to the dark
.
Keep circulating the URL
Beautiful.
Thank you, Mr. Connection!
Happy birthday, dear Dark, happy birthday to you.
If you wished for the electricity bill to be paid, did your wish come true (eventually)?
Logical, but, no, I think I wished for a train set
Nicely done Mr Tref, very nicely done.

A train set has always been one of those things I planned on one day seriously getting into. But I need a basement! And a train set! And miniature people to stand at the crossing and wave at the train as it goes by
These elements do sound quite essential!

Your words always make me smile.
Thanks, bespoke!

Based on a true story?
Based on a true lie!
There was a time that this happened to me. It was winter, and me and my kids had to huddle in front of a fireplace.
Actually, that seems rather nice.
Because you seem to be on a (hopefully temporary) break, tref, I was forced to return and enjoy this fabulous post again.
Haha! Thanks, for the encouragement, VC.
Hilarious and now that scene is going to be stuck in my mind for a while. I can clearly see both the children’s and the mother’s reaction to this. Funny stuff, my friend!!
Thank you!
Thank you, HJ!
Hilarious! I wrote more in my last reply but then wordpress made me log in and now it’s floating around cyberspace only to attach itself to some random post and totally confuse those who read it.
