MEL: Just write about a similar story from your past, Michele. It’ll be easy.
ME: (under breath) Easy for YOU maybe … you unscrupulous THUG!
It’s Ketchup With Us time and my co-host, Mel at According to Mags, had a unique idea for the writing link-up. To illustrate it, she wrote about one of the many foolhardy misdeeds of her youth. Frankly, when I read it, I was appalled. Shocked. And appalled. There were a few moments there that I seriously considered backing out of this whole Ketchup thing with her. I mean, you think you know a person, right?
Anyway, I’m sorry to disappoint you guys but I have nothing that comes even close to Mel’s story. It’s not like I ever cheated on a science test and got grounded so I couldn’t go to the Adam Ant concert … or snuck out to toilet paper the boy around the corner’s house and put a big rainbow-y Rick Springfield bumper sticker on his car. No, sir. But doesn’t that so sound like the kind of thing that our friend, MEL, would do. (laughs condescendingly)
For a quick explanation of the link-up, click here. In short, Mel and I will post a picture or video with a writing prompt on the 1st and 15th of every month. All you need to do is respond in whatever form strikes your fancy. Be creative. And, with each prompt, we’ll feature a writer from the previous link-up. Which reminds me, we’re happy to honor one of the only boys brave enough to link up last week.

‘KETCHUP WITH US’ – Prompt #3
Tell us in 57 WORDS OR LESS about a time you were caught red-handed, like a rat in a trap, with your hand in the cookie jar.

Woohoo! Glad you liked it! Talking about cheesy horror films and Playboy – could it be any more manly?!
Hey look it’s a picture of NY’s finest – and a police officer 😉
Workin on #3…and you have another contest, right? I have to keep a list…
The plates are spinning!
Congratulations! 🙂
At least if you’d done the Rick Springfield sticker thing, you could blame it on- wait, you did do that, didn’t you?
Sigh.
No, Guapo. It’s merely a coincidence that I mentioned Rick Springfield in my recent crush post. It couldn’t have been me because …. because … I don’t … believe in … stickers. Because I don’t believe in stickers!
Yeah, I know. Even I don’t believe that.
