A word prompt to get your creativity flowing this weekend. How you use the prompt is up to you. Write a piece of flash fiction, a poem, a chapter for your novel…anything you like. Or take the challenge below – there are no prizes – it’s not a competition but rather a fun writing exercise. If you want to share what you come up with, please leave a link to it in Sammi’s comment section.
YELLOWISH
They agreed on house colors—grey with black and white trim. Her excitement mounted. “No more ugly green. How about a purple door?”
His face became an obdurate fortress. “Plain white is fine.”
“Boring.” She pointed to a pastel sample. “This. ‘Fun yellow.’”
When the paint arrived, it was much brighter. He fumed. “You said ‘funky yellow.’”
“You misheard.”
She grins when the neighbors compliment her door. “Score one for the missus.”

Some types of obdurate are good.
For purple (or yellow) doors, for example. 🙂

Dear Rochelle,
Perfect response to this prompt (I’m still working on it as I don’t have the PERFECT example… oh wait, now that I think about it….)
Shalom and lotsa sunshine-yellow love,

Dear Dale,
I didn’t have a thought on it until after lunch when Jan and I were sitting on the deck discussing another home improvement. And this one just downloaded in landslide fashion. Thank you for your sunny words. Looking forward to your installment.
Shalom and lotsa brilliant hugs,
Rochelle

My husband actually took this picture of our front door. He admits now it was the best choice. 😉 Thank you.

always fun to read about a husband-wife interplay. Very relatable. I suppose it was early in the marriage so he didn’t know that the score was going to amount to much higher for the missus (:

We were two different people 50 years ago. (wow, that long?) I doubt that either of us could truly fathom the future.

I am not obdurate! And that is final. LOL. I was open but it makes a good story. You know what they say, Happy Wife, Happy Life. Quit using those big words on me.

Hi Rochelle,
I learned very long ago, technically it’s our house, in reality it’s her house, I just happen to live there. Very good “landslide” take on the prompt.
