Sue’s Photo Prompt this week…
This just wasn’t fair, you know.
They always know how to find me.
I can’t help it though. Haven’t you seen the size of my belly?
I’d been fed up (again) of being ignored (again), so thought I’d run away (again). They were always busy with her, my sister. Ballet classes, horse riding, gymnastics… she always had all these great clubs to go to, because she was good at all these things. No, not good, but brilliant!
Tall, slim, pretty, with that angelic face and smile that melted all the hearts who encountered it.
The total opposite of me. Two years older than her, but 4 inches shorter, orthodontic braces to correct my overbite, and a rather rotund figure. I can’t help that though, whenever she didn’t want to eat something she would give it to me, and I, being the protective older sister, would wolf down her extras, so she didn’t get in trouble.
I didn’t realise until a lot later, how much of a mistake that was!
Still, I do like my food. At least when I go to college, I can forget her perfection, and indulge in what I am good at.
Culinary art.
Delectable cuisines from around the world…
Ok, so I’m doing a catering course.
They never complain when whatever I have been cooking graces the table, but aside from a flippant “Ta love!” I don’t get a second glance.
So I decided that I would do it. Run away, but properly, today.
There is no going back.
Well, there wasn’t, until that smoke wafted into the cave where I had painfully secreted myself…
The scent of a barbeque.
How dare they?
That was my speciality!
But you know the worst thing?
I could smell burning in that smoke! And they all know that one thing I can’t bear is good food being ruined.
I’ll just go and sort it out, it’s only one barbeque… I guess they deserved one more chance to show they care…
… and, well, I was kinda hungry!
But I Smile Anyway...
