Prompt 29 – Babysitting

“Tommy’s First Curse”
The Johnson’s three year old is a hellion with endless energy.
But this job got a lot harder when I stubbed my big toe.
Now, little Tommy won’t stop saying “Fuck” and I got an hour left.
by Eamonn

Prompt 30 – Chores

The hum of my local laundromat is in the key of F
Blissful orchestra of drain pumps, that heavenly sound is unmatched!
Anyways, what kind of music do you li….please don’t leave I’m lonely

Prompt 32 – Meeting your New Neighbors

“Pine in my apples”
My new neighbors are a fun couple to hangout with. Not only
that, but they seem to have taken a liking to me and my wife.
They even have a cool upside down pineapple at their door.
