Sue’s #WritePhoto Prompt this week:

I thought I’d continue the adventures of Barbie and Ken! Will he ever learn???

“Babe,” Ken got down on one knee, “will you…?”
He reached down into his pocket, fumbling for something.
“Oh, Ken!” Barbie cried. “Yes! Yes! Of course I will!” Barbies eyes sparkled with the onset of happy tears.
“Oh, er, great! Cool. I didn’t think you’d be that keen! Okay, then, here’s my phone.” Ken got up  and handed his new iPhone X to her.
“Er, what’s this for babe? I mean, where is it?” Barbie asked, looking at his hands, searching for that small box to appear.
“Well I wanted to ask, will you take a cool shot of me planking on the top of that funny looking building over there? I reckon it would look epic on my Insta!”
“Planking? Photo? Insta? Really babe?! Well, you know where you can shove that!” Barbie threw the phone back at Ken and stormed off, as fast as she could, tottering off in her rather unsuitable heels.
Ken just about managed to catch the phone, thanking God it hadn’t fallen and smashed on the rocks.
“What have I done now? Oh well, I guess I’ll have to try and use my selfie stick. Babe? I’ll catch up with you later…”

    Ritu, so funny! Seems like the soap opera men and women don’t learn either! I hope they get their relationship figured out before a new Ken or new Barbie move next door! 😀
