Finish the
story begins with:
“The family had no idea that little Luigi would grow up to
be…”
LUIGI
“The family had no idea that
little Luigi would grow up to be…”
Harriet’s voice dwindled away as she became absorbed by the
picture in front of her. The photograph
album was open but this was the picture her index finger had landed on.
Her visitor looked up into Harriet’s face.
“Aunty, what happened to Luigi? Who was he?”
Caroline patted her aunt’s hand encouraging her to
continue. This was a member of the
family she wasn’t aware of.
Harriet began to speak again and told her great-niece the
family story. Luigi was a precocious
boy, always wanting attention but somehow everybody adored him. The female members of the family attended to
his every wish, he never cried, never wanted for anything and then he grew up to be a body part
model.
Harriet looked at her great-niece,
“I’ll let you guess which body part, my dear.”
The two women, separated in age by
50 years, both burst into fits of giggles.

ReplyDeleteOh Sally, what a hoot. What in the world made you think of this? (I know it's hard to believe, but I have NEVER run across a body part model in my years of doing family research ;-) )

ReplyDeleteHee hee! Loved the story Sally. Nicely done! Thanks for writing again for the MFtS challenge and be well... ^..^
ReplyDeleteHahaha! So funny! Great story Sally!
ReplyDeleteWell, I've head of hand models. There are probably models for other body parts, but I never heard of one for a part that causes giggles. I suppose there's always a first time. Really creative, Sally. :) --- Suzanne
