We all impatiently waited for the show to begin. Freddie leaned over to whisper into Susie’s ear. I so wanted to know what he was saying to her, since she made the ugliest face as he spoke! Fern and Dana were playing Patty-Cake for the fiftieth time! I wanted to scream “stop it!” Becky couldn’t leave her dress alone, and Timmy picked his nose…continuously.
I thought, “What am I doing here with these knuckleheads?” I looked around at the audience and it dawned on me that the average age was five. I looked down and shook my head. Just then, the curtain parted…
Sorry...my story, minus the prompt, stops here at 100 words exactly!
Thanks for stopping by. If you dare, please feed my ego with a comment of a few words of sugar, spice or vinegar - whatever you'd like! If you hunger for more quick reads, please hop over to Jenny's house by clicking on the logo below!

Oh no the curtain parted, just as I was so eager to read the rest...as I sit here too having had a bit too much coffee this morning and still feeling sleepy eyed...why is that? What an interesting way to deliver this prompt...I always seem to have far too many words so this morning I thought, strive for just 50 and gee did that work! Thanks for such a sweet story!
Come on, no fair leaving us hanging...what happened to the knuckleheads? Did the nose picking stop?
I need to know!
Good story!
and then...? Oh, do try and continue this next week...I love a cliff hanger.
Hahaha! Very clever! I love it!
when I totally get into a book, I "see" it all. You did a great job with the detail as I saw him picking his nose. yuk.
good job.
This is really cute and playful. Nicely done. It leaves me smiling.

Well done for sticking to the rules -you'll have to finish it somewhere else now!
Really well written, I can feel her anxiety level ratcheting up with every word. I'm going to guess a Barney performance? Eeks, that would turn this into a horror story :) Kat
Fun! Reminds me of the time I went to see The Wiggles.
;)
You did a fabulous job of putting your readers right in the middle of the action. It was concrete and very visual - and I want to know if the nose picking continued!
Namaste..........cj
Growing up times remain etched in the memory forever!
LOL! Oh the suspense is killing us! What a wonderful piece this is! So well written and such a clever use of the prompt! Extra credit for sticking to the word count!!
That was really good! Now do we get to find out what happens when the curtain parted????
Things can only get worse at children's show like this ;-)
How did you do that? You absolutely nailed that in exactly 100 words...told us a story, left us hanging...I really liked this.
Even the nose picking part!
