Oh, that tea-drinking thing made me laugh! My husband slurps his tea very noisily and I always give him 'the look'. A great piece of writing, Madeleine!
Hi Talli I've just updated the post, because actually it's not green tea it's a potent alcoholic beverage called Absinthe. ;O)
I loved this. You really made me laugh.
I leave shoes where ever I take them off - my catch phrase tends to be "Has anyone seen my shoes?" Bub get's his revenge when he collects them all up in a wash basket and tips them on the floor on my side of the bed. I call it the unfair carpet trick.
Hoorah for Absinthe! I really like this story and thought all the cliches worked so well! Yay!
p.s. I didn't know there was going to be a vote!?? Yikes!!! LOL!

It made me laugh! Lovely pun on the word absinthe. A well observed moment in this couple's relationship.
Great flash fiction! :)
Er, I just posted my entry for the blogfest . . . but I don't see my blog on the list. I could have sworn I entered my link before, but I must have forgotten or it didn't catch. I hope it's still okay that I wrote an entry on my blog?
*giggle* That was great. Clever line at the end.
Now, off to nag the husband to pick up his socks. :)
Madeleine, that's a killer last line. I wish I'd thought of it. Is it a cliche? If so, maybe I can use it in the future, lol! Great cliche-riddled story. This is such fun.

Hey Madeleine,
Very good and very clever. One heck of an ending sentence. I shifted all the paintings around in my home. Now, I like to think my 'art's in the right place' :)
Take good care and I'm most grateful for your kind comment on my latest posting.
With respect, Gary.
Fabulous job! I especially enjoyed the ending :D
Totally had to LOL at the absinthe :) Then, I got the "green glow." Well done
A woman scorned, and all that . .
Thanks for hosting this Maddy :) I totally enjoyed it.
Now I'm off to visit the others :)

Wo - wicked pun in te last line!! I enjoyed all that went before it, too :-) Great job with your entry and thanks again for setting up the blogfest - it's been fun!
All best
Karla
Haha, nice punchline ;-)
Like the entry a lot, Madeleine. The punchline is wonderful.
Haha, I love the 'giggling' part at the end.
Glad I caught up with your blog before I missed this post. I loved it, that last line was an absolute pearler :-)
Truly dreadful pun. I like it ;-)
Thanks everyone. Glad you enjoyed the groanworthy 'pun'chline and the giggle.
Loved how many of you identified with the sock dropping thing
Denise -'Absence makes the heart grow fonder' is a well known, well used phrase, so I guess the more it's used the more it becomes a cliché by definition.
