The wheels on his car were spinning on the icy surface.
He hated driving on ice.
Suddenly it was out of control.
He pushed his foot down hard, the car slowed.
As he ground to a halt he heard his mother's voice....
"Jimmy, time for tea now, you can play in your pedal car later".

you were up early Ak! another great flash story and have a good weekend!
LOL! Well done!
Well you have me hooked now. I have been reading your Flash 55 contributions for some time now so indeed today I have written my first contribution!
Brilliant . . Flash Fiction at it's best!!!
I'm hooked and am going to sign up to follow you.
I'm new to blogging so hope you'll pop over sometime. I'm sure you'll find something on my blog that you'll like!!
I'll be back to read some more. See you soon!
. . . and so good to find a blogger from the UK, the land of my birth!!
I hope your nerves are feeling better. I cannot believe the gall of that taxi driver! My friend in Canada had almost the exact same thing happen to her when a taxi pulled a u-turn from the curb in front of her as well! ugh!
I hope things get back to normal quick for you. And tell little Jimmy to be careful on that ice! ;)

I really thought it was going to be about your accident!
Ah fun .. I hope Jimmy learns that when driving on ice, one needs to steer into a swerve, pumping the brakes not slamming them or else he'll end up in a crash ...
Sorry. I could help myself, as soon as I read he pushed his foot down hard, I thought OH NO He'll smash the car!
Hey is it my fault you write so well I had no ideas it was a TOY car?
What fun! We're so often pulled out of our fun by something stressful---it's brilliant to feel his stress and then wow, discover it's playtime. I really enjoyed that!
that was a good one!
daughter #1 had one of those when she was little, hers was a red mustang and it got stolen. gosh i had forgotten all about that until now.

Another sneaky human.

You are so intriguing as a person and writer.

How appropriate to do something after that horrid incident you had the other day. You are so clever my friend. I truly don't know how you do it. Just awesome :) Have a wonderful Friday and a great weekend :) Aloha
You have a way with a turning plot. And in so few words. That's a challenge you manage brilliantly.

At least he's learning at a young age how to handle a car!
How are you doing? Feel okay I hope? Any more news from that idiot cabbie??
Heheheheheheee!
I had a Big Wheel when I was a kid. We didn't live where it snowed, but we did get a lot of rain and that would make lots of mud. And skidding about in the mud on a Big Wheel is FUN!
What a darling blog you have here my dear! How could I have missed this before? Excellent witty 55 and I'll be back soon. Have a GREAT weekend! Tall Karen
:-)
this made me smile
(and also made me wonder if we'll get snow again this winter....)
Ah, you do this so well - smile. You had me there (again). Bravo!
I was up early Flowerpot, but I had scheduled this to post at 6 a.m. anyway. :)
Thanks Quilly :)
Oh that's great Mrs. N, I look forward to reading yours. :)
Welcome Gloria, nice to meet you. I'm pleased you enjoyed my 55 and look forward to your future visits.
I'm fine thanks Snowelf, just a tad annoyed at the taxi driver but I will let that go. :)
Aha, gotcha Buff! ;)

Thanks Susan, I'm pleased you enjoyed it.
Oh your daughter must have been upset when her car got stolen Bee :(
Cheers Dumdad :)
I like twisty tales too Anthony :)
Aw thanks Ron, you're very kind. x
I actually wrote this 55 a while ago, before my accident Lulda - maybe it was premonition! :0
I'm pleased my comment brought a smile to your face Maggie :)
I hope this is the last of the car tales G-man! ;)
Why thankyou Dr. John, you're very kind. x
Sneaky? Me Fandango? LOL
Haha I got you too Spiky! Glad you like it hon.
As I told Lulda I wrote this a while ago Thom but it seemed appropriate to post it after what happened earlier in the week. :)
Oh thankyou San I'm pleased you enjoyed it. :)
I'm feeling fine thanks Cloudia and the car will be fixed next week. :)
I'm happy to make you smile Dianne and thankyou. x
Yes he's learning young Linda. Not heard from the cabbie but don't expect to, the insurance company are dealing with it. :)
I bet your Mum loved it when you got all muddy Trav - NOT! LOL
Welcome Tall Kay and thanks, I'm so pleased you like it here. :)
Thanks Lettuce. I hope we don't get snow while I still have to drive to work. Come January it can snow all it likes! LOL
Thanks Shrinky I like it when my twists work. :)
Awww, this is cute!
I lost control of my ride-on once... it was a giant plastic ketchup bottle with wheels. I wonder what it would have looked like had I injured myself and bled.
Thanks Mama Zen :)
It would have scared your mother half to death Andi! LOL
Cheers Valerie :)
What a good ending!
This is cute.
Oneday, I might just guess the end..... but NOT this time... again LOL

LOVED IT!!! L O V E D I T !!!

This flashed me back to watching my sons drive around the yeard ina tiny electric jeep when they were little boys.
You always rock the socks off of the 55!
Well this is how you learn. My son is going for his real license now and his friend doesn't know the gas pedal from the brake. So we are taking him to drive the electric cars at the nursery so he gets a chance to learn and maybe try out the gas cars on the go cart car racing strip nearby. The kids used to love it when they went for birthday parties.Life is good. :)
