I was creeping through the web looking for an interesting topic... and came across this writing prompt. The directions say to write a caption (or story) about these stick figures. The first thing that came to my mind?
"Your eyes are on crooked again, roll your head over to me, and I'll fix them."
Even through we cannot see any eyes, we know they are there... just picture two eyes on the same side of the head on the ground, (the man) and the figure with a head (the woman, of course), is going to re-arrange things and make everything all OK again.
Whenever my husband and I ride our motorcycles, he usually asks if his helmet is on straight. I think this is a funny question, and I laugh almost every time. "Well of course your helmet is on straight honey, it's your head that's crooked. Just straighten out your head, and then you'll be fine." I snicker as I see confusion in his eyes. Then he shrugs and climbs on his bike. I am the meanest wife in
Also, notice the woman's arms are pointed up, and the man's pointed down. I'm not sure what this means, but it must be significant. Actually, my first thought? Women raise their arms and say, "Do I have to do everything myself around here?" And the man replies, "Now honey, just calm down, I didn't mean to." He's trying to get himself out of trouble. Well at least this is how it works in my house.
Now, before you get all angry and upset about me making the headless stick figure a man, I asked my husband to give me his insight into what's happening in this image. I ask, "What do you think these people are doing?" His reply? "The man lost his head, and his wife is helping him." Ha - what do you say now?
I'm still the meanest wife in
