This week's word is METHODICAL here's the picture and my offering using the picture and word of the week in 140 characters, including spaces and punctuation.
Through the window Melanie watched her husband lining up the
children’s toys.
He’d complained she was methodical but she was sure he had
OCD!

Very good, but not for them.
There's a little OCD in most of us, I think;-)
Cute! Very neat tidy and methodically done.
Those dang, "irresponsible" OCDers. Heck, if his wife wasn't handy, Mr. Hubby would probably "Blame it on the Bossa Nova"! (<-- Quite a stretch, I know, but what a catchy, little tune I have just planted in your head for you to hear the rest of the day! LOL!)
P.S. You're welcome!
Thanks mjunta :)
I agree Valerie
I think you're right Jabblog
Haha cheers Banker Chick
You're right it's stuck in my head now Sparkle Farkle LOL
Truth be told, I'd be the one out there lining up the cars too so I guess I've probably got a bit of OCD going on myself!
I probably be helping you Linda, so I guess I got OCD too.
My husband has a touch of that, but not to an extreme. I like your take on this week's picture.
This cracked me up!
brilliant Ak - as usual!
I know people like that...it sure gets irritating when they re arrange things you spent hours arranging.
Smart MF.
looks like a full parking lot to me! ha ha

Very good. Wish my husband would develop OCD, but it's a little too late.

The shrink in me has to point out that is more likely obsessive-compulsive personality disorder rather than OCD.
Glad you like it Pat :)
Happy to make you smile Mama Zen :)

Thanks for the analysis and correction SAW
Poor kids - a methodical mother and an OCD dad? Hope they get to make the odd mess, nevertheless (grin)!
It does look a little like a car park. I wish my parents had been slightly more organised - then maybe some of it would have rubbed off on me!
Yeah they don't stand a chance do they Shrinky?
MWM and I are both neat and tidy but our two boys are quite the opposite so it doesn't always work out AJ!
Funny .. you are always so clever with these Microfictions!
A 'late-comer'...but I used your post as a guide--form, etc. Thanks. These are short, sweet, and hard-to-beat!
In your post, it reminded me of the sun calling the moon 'bright'...grin!
OMG, I'm your 24th butterfly. Feel a bit awkward in my winged costume!
PEACE!
Why thankyou Daryl :)
Glad to be of service Steve E. :)
At leask while he's out lining up the kids' stuff, he's out of her hair. Perhaps she should get the kids a few more vehicles and encourage the kids to scatter them. :D
