Opposite Sides Of The Spectrum

Prompts = Pumpernickel, Windex, Flashing

It was my turn to share with some friends a story about the oddest things we’d dealt with as kids:

‘My parents were on opposite sides of a weird illness spectrum.

‘One day I sliced my finger while cutting a stale loaf of pumpernickel with a dull breadknife. My dad grabbed Windex and went all My Big Fat Greek Wedding while my mom called 911.

‘I remember walking down the driveway with the paramedics, emergency lights flashing, my mom screaming about windex poisoning and my dad trying to reapply it.

‘I still have the scar.’

Silence followed.

That story rocks.
