Microfiction Monday #11



Susan at Stony River hosts this fun theme each Monday, so do pop over and read the others who have signed Mr. Linky. The rules are thus:


Every Monday Susan will post a picture for the subject of your story. Microfiction means the shortest of short stories. Think Aesop's fables, comic strips, or even jokes: complete stories that can be told in under a minute. For this game, the limit is a tweetable 140 characters or fewer, including punctuation and spaces.


Here's today's picture and my contribution.



Reading all the promises of eternal youth on the label of the bath oil,

Daphne didn’t know whether to add it to her bathwater or drink it!

    I would definitely try applying it topically first and then if that doesn't work, add it to a glass of juice and 'down the hatch' with it! Great job with this.

    Hmmm...I would apply it to the skin first , if that doesn't do the trick, I'd just add vodka and drink it down.
    Nice.

    Maybe she'd better do both -- then bless the house with it too!

    I'm afraid it's too late for me -- but good luck Daphne!

    Bath oil in the water and a nice glass of wine to drink - that's the ticket.

    I have had a few cosmetics leave me with that same confusion. And as long as we're on the subject, can you explain scented toilet paper? I just don't get it.
