I have not done much reading as of late but I wanted to participate in the Women Of Mystery's famed Two Line Tuesday this week. So I'm going to give you two lines spoken to me by my 6 yo old son this week.
LINE #1 "Dad you are a peach."
So far so good.
Line #2 "Because you have pits and are fuzzy all over."
Oh, the joys.
And two lines from my writing, of which I have done very little. These come from the creative non-fiction project centering around my experiences of being a teenage boy under the influence of a highly immoral boss at a Texas feedstore. By the way I'm cheating and giving you three.
Jerry claimed he was going to see his mother over in Arkansas, but Doyle said that was a lie. The boss said people like Jerry were hatched in an incubator and had no clue who their mother even was. Doyle insisted Jerry would spend the entire week on his couch drinking room temperature cans of Busch beer while his herd of house cats looked on, waiting for him to puke so they would have something to eat.

Aloha-
It could have been because you are orange and have a best friend called James...
James and The Giant Peach, still one of my favourite ever books...
Lucky cats.
Travis,
I'm out of town next Monday, but an MTM will pop up 9am HK time, as usual, on China, the USA, and WWII.
Sorry for not simply sending you a link on the day, but I will be at a long, drawn-out (and fun) multi-day, multi-city wedding in India.
I think that means it will pop onto the web at 8pm Sunday night your time.
Would you mind collecting it and posting it?
Thanks, in advance.
Tschuess,
Chris
Oh, I soooo love cats. Particularly enjoyed this little entry. :)
Hope you're getting everything in the house done without problems.
Your son has an imaginative way with words - just like is Dad!
Oh, I want to read more!
I see a future writer in that son of yours! Too cute. You drew a very grotesque picture in my minds eye about Jerry.
OH didja read the Madlib?
Awesome. I love the things that come out of little ones' mouths. (Most times.) :D
I can't wait to read more, Travis! Hope all is going well with the new house. -- your cheerleader! LOL
Ew. That's gross.
Apparently that boy has never heard the more famous two lines: "I brought you into this world. I can take you out." ;)
LOL, too funny!
Nice, lol
Oh Traviola you are a peach. Pits and all!
I am just glad I know your mother and you were not born in a plastic box with a light. Cats...yuck!
Other people's kids are so cute!
Your lines were great, poor kitties! Of course, I was eating oatmeal as I read that!
That 6 year old's going places, I tells ya!
Perhaps I should have skipped reading your snippet until AFTER lunch, though...
I can see Doyle is an earthy kind of guy knowing full well cats will eat anything.
Oh my gosh, I can see where he got his sense of humor!
Travis-
Sorry we went radio silent for the evening and didn't get your link up, but I love your boy's lines.
What is it about your writing and lousy bosses?!
I haven't been here in quite some time and come back to kitties being abused? Christ. Thanks. I'll remember this one.
Well, Mr. and Mrs. Shife are the happy recipients of a bouncing baby boy. Oh, I can hardly wait for the posts this year! Should be fun.
Nice to hear your voice dear. And always good to see your darling fish.

Nice.
It's been a while since I had that kind of abbreviated, thought provokeing, head scratching brief conversation with my kids.
Thanks.
Your 2 Fer may be the funniest 2 4 Tues ever.
congrats on 2 years, Travis!
actually I loved the line about the cats...probably because some neighborhood cat in heat has been driving the Labs next door crazy...so we've been listening to constant dog barking for DAYS...I've never wanted to kill a cat more in my life...
