“I don’t like it!” said Molly.
“There is nothing wrong with pink” said Raul defensively.
“Yes there is! It just does not fit.”
“Well,” replied Raul, “if you really want to get into it, how about you do something to clean up your deck!”
Molly glared at Raul. “What is wrong with my potted plants and my barbecue?”
“What is wrong is that most of your plants are dead, and let me ask you this: When was the last time you used that barbecue?”
The following day Molly lit the barbecue and started cooking. Raul sizzled as he cooked.

Thank you to Rochelle Wisoff-Fields for hosting Friday Fictioneers! And also to Bjorn Rudberg for the photo that inspired this story!
And, many thanks to you dear reader for taking the time to stop in for a bit! Have an amazing Thursday and be well! ^..^
Barb, Wow! That was a bit harsh just because he liked pink and criticized her plants. Something tells me there was a bit more to it than that. 😦 Good dark humor; well written. 🙂 —Susan
Thank you Susan!
Dear Babs, Love your story and your attitude – How was Raul? Nan 🙂
Crispy! 🙂
Revenge is not a dish served cold then? Last sizzling moment of Raul. Dark and funny story.
No it is not! Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed this story! 🙂
That is one woman not to be crossed. Very well written.
Thank you!
Sometimes we need that push to get moving & start using stuff or preparing things 🙂
We do! Thank you for your comment Anita!
Dear Barbara,
Maybe Raul should’ve offered to do some barbecuing. As for the plants…I have a bit of brown thumb myself. 😉 Cute story.
shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you Rochelle!
Yes I agree – an unused barbecue is a mans responsibility – Raul has to fix the potted plants now.. The blue-guy work now I think,
🙂 Thank you! Rochelle added me…
Hm? Maybe I should paint part of the house pink to see what my wife will cook up……..ha, ha! Cute short story.
She will certainly cook you for painting anything on and around the house pink! 🙂
Very clever 🙂
Thank you!
And now Molly has made a bad mistake. She has taken over the job of barbecuing. Should have let Raul do it so she could then sit back and do her nails (or whatever).
🙂 Raul is cooking now! 🙂
Yay!!!!!!!!
