Many thanks to Grandma’s Goulash for hosting Succinctly Yours! The idea of this meme is
to use the picture to tell a story in 140 words or 140 characters. The bonus
word was “banish.” Mine has 138 characters.
Despite the possibility that the elders might banish them, the Yodelhosen youth held their first prom. They didn’t yet know that girls were typically included.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and
smarter than you think. ~Anonymous, seen on plaque on a teacher’s desk.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Donna!

ReplyDeleteThank YOU for stopping by, Lisa!
DeleteYodelhosen? That is too funny to be true. It sounds like a Tammyism.
ReplyDeleteNo way. I'm descended from the Yodelhosen. That's why it's okay if I poke fun just a bit.
DeleteClever story for the picture. Two of my grands just went to the prom so that is so apropos. I love your quote too.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Judy! Since you are knowledgeable about prom - don't you think the boys chose the venue and decorations, too?
DeleteThanks for my first smile of the day. You are quite the word tinker, Miss Reader's Digest Finalist!

I laughed at your description, but surely we all look more lovely bubbling over with effervescent laughter, right? ;)
