Tweet Tales Tuesday Week 186
August 18, 2015
15 Minute Tweet TalesThe past week has been interesting on Facebook as many of my friends post pictures of their kids on the first day of school. First of all, SO MANY ADORABLE KIDS!!! Second, it makes me feel old to see my high school friends posting pictures of their kids … in high school!! Where the heck as the time gone?!? Good luck to all the kiddos as they embark on a new school year!
 
And now here are my 15 Minute Tweet Tales for the past week:
 
8/12 – The King is an idiot, but his mother is an éminence grise who keeps the people from revolting. He only lasts two months after her death.
 
8/13 – He grins, says, "Fiat lux!" and flips the switch. A sizzling sound. Power goes off in entire subdivision. His neighbors dread December.
 
8/14 – We input the latest outbreaks for analysis of our containment efforts. The screen goes black, then displays: GRAVIORA MANENT. Uh oh.
 
8/15 – He asks lawyer, "What about habeas corpus?" "They literally have a body covered with your bloody fingerprints. No judge will go for it."
 
8/16 – When he arrives at brunch, everyone glares at him. Memory hazy, he suspects in vino veritas got the best of him at the rehearsal dinner.
 
8/17 – Despite beauty treatments, poise classes, and even plastic surgery, she's a Disney princess manqué, roaming the park in her Goofy costume.
 
8/18 – As oldest of nine siblings, she became nil admirari to deal with the chaos, but sadly that meant even the good things were less exciting.
 
Play along and write tweet tales for the above words. If you’re willing to share, post them on twitter with the hashtag #15tt or add them below in the comments because I’d love to read them. Any thoughts about this week's tweet tales or #15tt words?
