DP Daily Prompts: Object Lesson

Sherlock Holmes had his pipe.Dorothy had her red shoes. Batman had his Batmobile. If we asked your friends what object they immediately associate with you, what would they answer?

If you ask my friends what object they immediately associate with me, they’ll be in a state of perplexity. I do not smoke a pipe, wear red shoes or have a Batmobile. They may not like to admit they cannot associate me with any object, rather than look foolish, they’d ask you to give them some time to think it over.

In the meantime I’d face a barrage of questions like, ‘Hey Ranu what object do you have that you go out with daily?’

This very question will make me aware they’re up to something, I’d throw the question right back at them. They’ve asked for some time to think over, they didn’t get the answer from me.

They make up their mind to ask my parents, it seems impossible, my parents are not visible anymore, they ask my cousins, they have no idea, they see me once in a while.

They didn’t want to give up, they get in touch with one of my teachers, unfortunately for them the teacher said, “I teach my students I do not look for anything that I can associate them with,you’ve come to the wrong person, goodbye.”

The friends are tired and embarrassed, they do not want to accept defeat, one of them said, “We associate her with her, “Smile!”

365 Writing Prompts: Flip flop

Think of a topic or issue about which you switched your opinion. Why the change?

I used to think the two felines we got are nice and sweet. I’m beginning to feel they are not that nice or sweet. Yesterday they managed to scatter my books all over the place.

When we first got them they were very obedient , if I said no, they’d listen to me, now they give me a wide-eyed glance and question my authority, they stop for few seconds and continue to be evil i.e  they knock everything on the floor and dance around.

They ate anything we dished out now they sniff and leave. They hate dry food it used to  be their favorite, if we mix it with moist food they’d eat the moist and leave the dry in the bowl.

Why do I think they are not sweet, they’ve developed a don’t care attitude, which I detest. If they get up on the piano and try to knock the light down, I spray them with water, they continue to be evil,the water does not work any more. I think I’m right to think they are not sweet or nice anymore!
