Comments on 'The First Time [Make Me Laugh Challenge]'Let me tell you something.
I was almost 6, my birthday was creeping up on me stoically, devouring my age and mental capacity one day at a time. I was swinging on my pet elephant’s trunk, enjoying the mixture of wind and the animals heavy breathing when my mother came out of the front of our cave with a stone tray in her hands.
The first thing I recognized on the tray was a pitcher of lemonade, brimming with sugar and lemony greatness. The dumping of lemonade over the elephant was a daily exercise and was something I looked foreword to with great anticipation.
It wasn’t till my Mother drew closer that I saw three of the brilliant snacks resting on the tray. I remember her handing me one to consume, after placing the round delight into my mouth my memory fades into pure white exhilarating light.
Those little monochromatic circular cookies have stolen a lot of my memories in such a manner, replacing events with the pure white light of incredible taste.
Sometimes I wish I had never heard the name 'Oreo'.2008-05-26T02:13:58Zhttp://ficlets.com/feed/story/30503Comment on The First Time [Make Me Laugh Challenge]<p>That was just very odd.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/30503?basename=651552008-05-26T02:13:58ZAlexa ♥http://ficlets.com/authors/alexa1018Comment on The First Time [Make Me Laugh Challenge]<p>Nice little descriptive ficlet. It’s also a nice lead-up to the Oreo reveal – especially the oddness of it in this prehistoric setting.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/30503?basename=634452008-05-19T22:32:06ZStovohobohttp://ficlets.com/authors/stovohoboComment on The First Time [Make Me Laugh Challenge]<p>oreos. yum.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/30503?basename=626142008-05-16T00:32:31Zinvisibility_disabilityhttp://ficlets.com/authors/invisible_storiesComment on The First Time [Make Me Laugh Challenge]<p><em>The dumping of lemonade over the elephant was a daily exercise and was something I looked foreword to with great anticipation.</em> A funny thing to do. Wonder how the elephant feels about it._ Cute and fanciful story, oh, I did just notice that you wrote <strong>foreword</strong> instead of <em>forward</em>.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/30503?basename=623062008-05-14T19:28:24Zthebetweenspacehttp://ficlets.com/authors/thebetweenspaceComment on The First Time [Make Me Laugh Challenge]<p>Little bit of childhood fantasy and imagination maybe?
