The Relationship Kerfuffle

**I wrote this 100-word "story" as an entry into Saturday's Flash Fiction contest: http://jetreidliterary.blogspot.com/2016/05/the-duchess-of-yowl-writing-contest-ii.html

This week I got a mention for a "delicious" twist.**

              -------------------------   

“Oh, what’s she so miffed about anyway? It’s not like he’s the first of her boys to get in a scuffle,” Tiffany wondered aloud.

“Young’uns, I tell ya. They’re always sulking about looking for trouble,” Doris replied as she shuffled into the porch rocker.

“Well, we can’t blame him, really. That other boy did steal his lady,” Tiffany mused.

Doris wanted to remind Tiffany that no boy is settled on a particular lady at that age but saw an interruption headed their way.

“Move over, Fluffy-Butt,” Food-Giving-Poop-Scooper said, “I want to sit with you.”

Thanks! A friend gave me a decorative pillow that says: if you want the best seat in the house, move the cat. It's so true.

That's funny. In my house, it's the dog. If I get up for a minute, she curls up on the warm spot on the couch and has to be moved when I get back.

Ha yea, I can imagine a dog doing that.
