“Why this thing?”
“They don’t like pancakes.”
Stella frowned.
Stephan chuckled. Too serious for her own good.
Her stare continued. He wanted dessert. He demurred.
“Bad accident last year. Someone got run over.” He slapped his palms for emphasis. “Totally.”
She kicked his shin.
“Ow!”
“Not the Stop sign, the lamppost! Too tall.”
Stephan’s eyes traced up to her manicured nail.
“Ah, they had to.”
Stella lowered her glasses. Warning or curious? He couldn’t tell.
“That family of giants down the street? Any shorter and the lamp ignites their hair.”
Forget dessert.
Her glare incinerated what chance he had left.

I can’t help but feel on her side. Dessert may be a step too far

Na’ama Y’karah,
Stephen should give Stella a quarter to buy a sense of humor. Obviously they’re not on the same street. 😉 Fun stuff.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Discernment: the gift of knowing when to be quiet.
But I can see Dale’s point, too. One must humor well.
Very clever take, Na’ama.
