This meme is easy and it's fun! Thanks, Susan for hosting.
And here's the picture for the day!
What did she tell me? Ride the waves? I think she got it backwards!
These waves are going to ride me. And where's the life preserver? Uh oh!

Sounds as if this Poor Soul is caught up in a Hurricane. I guess one shouldn't believe all they hear. Nice one Sylvia, mine is up and posted.
I hope his life was preserved! Most of these poor fellas aren't faring too well!
He should've gone to the more expensive, but more reliable boat rental company. They give better and more thorough advice for the extra bucks.
Now this feels right.
Back here at your place commenting on your MF.
You still amaze me at how good you are at this.
Have a wonderful holiday tomorrow.
I have a terrible feeling that even a life-jacket wouldn't help him much in this situation--guess the old saying is true--"You get what you pay for." Have a great week. Cheers!
A perfect storm isn't for everybody! Great job, Sylvia! Have a great week.
Good one, Sylvia! Have a good week!
:) great one!
ROFLMAO!!! Too funny. Maybe she talks so much that he wasn't paying attention as usual LOL :) Good one. Have a wonderful Sunday :)
He'll have to try surfing next time! :O)
Hi Sylvia...
Thanks for stopping by...Loved your Story!
Loved your take on this picture. Perfectly put.
My first try at a Micro-Fiction Monday is up.
PG
Uh oh! Yes, Sylvia, it is time to say that, huh? You did good! :)
..
You got me to thinking, have you read any that wrote a peaceful scene? Pretty much panic in the picture I am afraid.
..
Crap I forgot to tell you that you have been tagged on my blog. Happy Sunday night :)
A life preserver or maybe a boat preserver (if those exist, lol)
Yep! those waves look like they're riding him pretty hard lol! great entry
Great photographs and story Sylvia.
Have a great week.
Costas
LOL. I think he should have tried the surfing for beginners class! Great story.
Have a wonderful week x
Very nice story, Sylvia!
Happy new week :-)
My son is a surfer so I can relate to this one. But yikes! That's a mother's nightmare.
He's in for a rough ride :-)
Nice one.
i am enjoying you microfiction mondays. :)
LOL! made me chuckle.
If you hop over to mine at http://scribbleandedit.blogspot.com you'll see my second attempt at this genre.
Like how you turned riding the waves into the waves doing the riding! Nifty little microfiction!
You sound like you have boating experience, Sylvia. I enjoyed this. :)
She should have told him to stay out of the water. He needs a better advice giver. But it made a wonderful story.
Bravo! Sounds like the conditions along the East Coast beaches in the wake of Hurrican Earl...
It seems she left out the advice about the weather! Great take, Sylvia. Hope you're enjoying your public holiday.
Ah, seafaring isn't for me either!
The waves are formidable opponents! Good one :) Enjoy your week!
wow,
ride waves,
waves ride him....
dynamic and witty take.
She's trying to cash in his life insurance policy, I suspect!
Methinks she got her revenge, Sylvia!
Listen better next time! Thanks for dropping by to read my 140. Sorry for the delay but dealing with drama of son having to dash across Italy to catch his flight. Hope your week goes better then his!
This reminds me of the t-shirt I saw:
She said I never listen
....or something like that
Not sure I'd take anyone's advice while at sea: I tend towards seasickness.
Great MM, Sylvia--have a great week.
I hate it when I forget to pack the life preserver, also known as personal flotation device.
I think he's going to be needing all the help he can get.
