No story of mine is 100% fiction. I might always use a springboard from my real life.
I care for a severely disabled son who said that first line to me after his one bite of a peanut butter sandwich I made for him on a grain-free bread. While he's not at all nasty and I (somewhat) happily care for him, we do follow a healing diet, although one that is less restrictive than the one in my story. I have been known to soak, sprout, dehydrate and roast nuts, but I didn't do it for this particular sandwich.
But he was not happy with that sandwich - that part was 100% true.
Oh, I got it. Wow, the story really becomes rich after knowing the back story. You must have the patience of a saint!
Many say that about me, but he doesn't! lol.
I might finish the story myself once all this contest is over.
Oh that would be great for you to finish the story owasco!
The knee jerk reaction of most of us in that situation would be to say "fine! go without!"
Check out phil-glaz. He didn't and it's beautiful.
I am cogitating on a story to finish it up with myself. We'll see.
I'll have to use that line "patience of a saint". Good one. Thanks for saying that.
