The prompts for September are provided by River @ Drifting through Life.
The general idea of this challenge is to make us write. Poems, stories, subtitles, tales, jokes, haiku, crosswords, puns, ... you're the boss.
Use all Words, some Words, one Word, or even none of them if that makes your creative juices flow. Anything goes, only please nothing rude or vulgar.

It is also a challenge, where the old saying "The more the merrier" holds true.
So Please, remember to follow the links, go back and read other peoples' stories. And please leave a comment after reading. Challenges like this one thrives on interaction, feedback and encouragement. And we ALL need encouragement.
This week's prompts are:
Charm bracelet
Fried chicken
Teacup
Cage
Plastic
Adorable
A small piece from Susan's mundane life this time around.
These words were very hard to use, as Susan never ever owned a charm bracelet. She was never one for rings, bracelets, necklaces or any other adornment of the body.
On the other hand she loved fried chicken, and often on Saturdays mom and her went to the market and bought a chicken, which she helped mom clean and de-feather. Then dad put into the oven on the wind up rotating spit, making the most delicious fried chicken imaginable. He basted the chicken with his secret spices and oil, mixed with the drippings in an old, chipped teacup, and religiously applied at regular intervals. Meanwhile the mynah bird called Beo, sat in his cage and squawked. Despite the whole family's incessant whistling of a certain earworm of a tune, the Mynah never learned. And they had to cover table as well as floor and walls with plastic, as Beo was a very messy bird.
He was in fact the opposite of adorable, and in the end he was given back to the pet shop to start on a new life away from Susan and her family.
I love it = and am always happy to learn more of Susan's life - mundane or magical.
SvarSletWhat a lovely feast fried chicken would make. Suppose it's a good that they gave Beo back, I wouldn't want to clean his mess.
SvarSletHave a lovely day.
