A Round Tuit

“Tuit’s are hard to come by…’specially round ones,” the wee man looked up at me with a glint in his eye. I studied him, puzzled for a moment. “But, you have so many,” I pointed out, as I looked beyond his stately tophat to the pile of Tuits he had so carefully stacked end to end.

He smiled a disturbing grin and winked as he snatched a Tuit from the center of the stack and handed it over to me, “Guard this one and never lose it. Don’t let anyone take it away from you.” He placed it gently in my outstretched hand, closing my fingers tightly between his thick chubby hands.

I couldn’t help but smile back. “All the times I have talked of the many things I would when ever I got around to it.” He chuckled heartily. “Ah, Lass, thankfully, it is finally here! And now you have your very own round Tuit, there should be fantastic results.”

He dropped my hand and as I walked away, I tucked my Round Tuit deep in my pocket. I turned back to thank him, and he, with his stack of Tuits, was gone.

    I actually have a ‘round tuit’ I carry with me, and someone asked me about it today. This was inspiration for my ficlet this evening. And I have been in full blown getting-ready-for-St-Patrick’s-mode for a week. I love leprechauns. ;)

    This is cool. My grandmother had a round tuit on her fridge for years and years and I always thought it was terribly clever :) I enjoyed how the character came by her tuit – I found it just as clever :)

    I love it! Put a smile on my face. Which is a good thing, after writing my “I Miss You” contest ficlet. Thanks!
