Goats – Photo by Sandra Crook
The day did not go as she had planned. Not at all! Looking about her she reflected on how prophetic her daughter’s last statement to her was…
Mom: You should find out what kind of car he drives before you go out with him.
Daughter: What?
Mom: The car will indicate what kind of guy he is and if he has money!
Daughter: Wasn’t it you who said not to judge a book by its cover? I seem to recall hearing that over and over again.
Mom: This is different.
Daughter: Mom, you know you really are an old goat!

Thank you goes out to Rochelle Wisoff-Fields for hosting Friday Fictioneers and to Sandra Crook for the lovely photo! I hope that you do not mind me changing the subject to goats as it fit the story that flew out of my fingers!
Thank you, dear readers, for stopping by today. I feel well enough to write today, but am very tired! You be well, and thanks again for dropping in!
Such a good and scary story. Prophetic and where’s the I-Phone? Need a picture of the guy and the car. Great writing – really! Nan 🙂
Glad that you enjoyed the story Nan! 🙂
Dear Barb,
Sometimes the child is smarter than the parent. Cute story.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you Rochelle! I am glad that you enjoyed it! ^..^
Both good story and good dialogue. Mom’s advise might not have been perfect, but that daughter needs to learn something about respect. Wait until she’s a mother. Well done. 🙂 —Susan
Thank you Susan! Be well! ^..^
Daughters! Where’s the respect. (Women should look for both money and a title – way to go.)
Thank you for the comment Patrick!
OUCH! But true. I almost thought Mom wanted to know so that if anything awful happened she would be able to track the man by his car. Call me suspicious.
Suspicious! But with the world today… 🙂
Well………….at least the Mother’s date didn’t pick her up for their date riding a goat!
Great opening line: “The day did not go as she had planned.” Anything could happen after that! Fun story. 🙂
Glad that you enjoyed it!
This almost looks like a scene from my book Orion’s Gift where there are goats on the road. In Baja it’s a common occurrence but maybe not with quite so many goats. Loved your short story!
Glad that you enjoyed it Anneli! Hugs and have a great weekend!
