Do you know how to have fun? (Friday Fictioneers)
PHOTO PROMPT © J Hardy Carroll
Jenny skipped through the top layer of fresh snow sending swathes of it up in front of her. Didn’t have snow on Telter Seven. Her home planet was located close to their solar giant and muggy on even the coolest day. How amazing was this? Fingers pleasantly numb, face frozen, she danced in the street.
“Drunk fool!” A shout from the upstairs window. Jenny looked up and laughed loudly.
Shame about these Earthlings. They did not enjoy life enough. Who wouldn’t love this? She threw herself down in the heaped bank and giggled.
“I’m calling the cops!”
She snorted. Shame.

Delightfully different take, although in the middle of this red alert snow storm right now I’m struggling to enjoy the snow! And 93, congratulations to him 🙂
Ouch! Gosh that’s cold. Its just coming out of summer here in Aus so we have winter on the way. Stay warm
And yup, Poppa is amazing.
That was a lovely take, Laurie!
Thanks Dale!! 😄
Jenny is right, humans don’t enjoy life enough. Happy birthday to your Poppa.
Agreed. Thank you Trent!
You wrote that with a light-hearted joie de vivre that is really cheering! Nicely done!
Thank you Penny. Yes I was wanting a laugh. 😊
Nice one, Laurie. Poppa looks great. Happy Birthday to him.
Thank you John. Yup Poppa is amazing. 😊
😀
Dear Laurie,
It’s all a matter of perspective, isn’t it? Lovely story and congrats to Poppa.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Absolutely!
And thanks 😍
Funny how it often takes an outside perspective to appreciate the little things! Cute story.
Here in southeastern Pennsylvania, we have 50 mph winds and lots of big, fat, wet snow coming down. Temps are just at freezing point, and I’m really glad I don’t have to go out in this stuff. I’m enjoying it through my picture window, from the warmth of my living room 🙂
I think thats the best way to enjoy it !
It’s hard to for us to understand the joy of winter, unless you never had one.
Yes very true. Our winters are wet and cold but not cold enough for snow unless you live on the mountain… which gets slush more than actual snow
Love the childlike enjoyment of this. When snow is short-lived and novel it can be fun. I’ve had couple of snow days in the UK this week with work cancelled and walks in the snow. But it must be hideous for those trapped on the motorway and unable to get home because of airport closures. I suppose, it’s all a matter of perspective, so well summed up in your story.
Yes! So very true Sarah Ann. Short lived it is fun BUT long term I think I’d hate it. I’m not a fan of the cold.
