This is my 100 words on Saturday Post. The Wednesday Picture prompt is here.
Wednesday Prompt #16 and 100 Words on Saturday #15
I witnessed a murder on this bed last night; she was very young as were her dreams and aspirations. With one clean swoop her parents reduced her smiles to tears of anguish and heartbreak; it was an ambush of sorts.
Rhea had wanted nothing more than a bowlful of tiramisu ice-cream after dinner but her dentist father and pediatrician mother had vetoed her request and offered her an apple instead. Try explaining the perils of decay and cavities in the teeth to determined three-year olds; they refuse to reason when the whim strikes them. It was an eventful night.

Aww! Poor Rhea! I can feel her hurt and anguish. Am sure she will understand the wisdom of her parents words a bit later in life! What a wonderful take on the prompt, Sulekha. Loved it!! 🙂
Kids at this age don’t understand the logic of their parents 🙂 thanks

Nice twist. The opening was very intriguing. Poor ice cream;)
Thanks, poor girl 🙂
The bowl of tiramisu was the root cause of the anguish . But kids do not understand the problem. well-written drabble.
They don’t 🙂 Thank you.
Oh how cruel 🙂 It was just a bowl of ice-cream…why did they have to be so strict? Poor baby 🙂
Parents nowadays are so overprotective, we had an easier time as kids 🙂 thanks
It’s so sad 🙁 But she will understand hopefully …..a very different take . liked it 🙂
Hope so 🙂 thank you so much for visiting and your comment.
An apple in place of ice-cream!!! They are so far apart for a child :-)…
I know 🙂 thank you
Haha…who wants apples when you can have tiramisu!? I’m 30 and I’d cry in anguish! 😀
Me too 🙂 thanks Psych.
Nice story! 🙂 I had an ice-cream yesterday & I feel so sorry for child..
She is miserable 🙂 thanks for your comment.
Intelligently woven twist and unique take. Though I feel sad for poor Rhea and joy of ice cream melting in the mouth. Give me an ice cream anytime:)
I know, but who will explain it to the parents 🙂 Thanks Vishal.
Liked the take on the prompt. Lovely! You have rightly put ‘kids refuse to reason when whim strikes them’..
Thank you so much.
