The group of us gathered round and looked hard at the problem. All day there had been little light shone on the issue.
And it was fair to say we had all contributed to the matter in own significant ways.
Tom had purchased the light.
Mary had carried the light
Bill had shone the light.
Jude made fun of the light
Mangy made light of the whole situation.
Only Jess saw a use for the light.
‘Tomorrow,’ she said. ‘Is Father’s Day why not surprise him with a brunch at my place.’
At that moment Bill shone the light on Jess, Jude lightened up and Tom was thinking it was a good purchase after all.
At this suggestion a light had gone off in Mary’s head as it often did after several seconds of thought and she announced that she would bring eggs and make a light omelette.
Mangy insisted she bring the light beer, as she had to drive to the coast after on a secret rendezvous with a light globe salesman called Lighty.
Jude who was normally a light on sort of guy said he’d bring the light milk.
Bill said he’d call by the bakery and get there at first light to buy the tasty crusty bread we all loved to munch on.
Jess said as we were coming to her house she’d go home and give the place a light dusting before we arrived.
Tom not to be left out said he’d heard there might be storms the next day so he’d organise a tent with a lightening rod to keep us safe from any lightening should it eventuate.
It was then decided that Jess would call for dad and have him at her place before we all arrived and knowing that would be no light feat we wished her well as dad was no lightweight in any way shape or form.
With everything in place for Father’s Day we all went off to prepare and lighten our wallets by buying him the expensive light fittings he said he needed, as the lights in his place were not so good.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there, have a great day Sunday September 6.

Michael, you’ve been visiting your friends in the bottom of your garden and sipping on Faerie tea again, haven’t you. I can always tell…your stories are always so involved when you do 😀
Oh, and have a very happy Father’s Day tomorrow.
Thank Lyn I fully intend too…..and there is nothing but good in faerie tea….
Happy Father’s Day, Michael–in case I’m occupied on Sunday.
Thank you Val…you have a good day too.
My Aussie bull rider, Ben Jones, just made a super ride–and he’s sporting new teeth!
Good for him we are a resilient lot, especially with new teeth.
I’d gotten so used to his appearance previously–just part of his endearing charm, to be “snaggle-toothed”; but I confess I’m envious–with the new teeth, he’s “lookin’ good”!
Have an exceptionally brilliant Dad’s day — and I don’t say that lightly.
Your story put family ties under the spotlight. Dad obviously was a beacon; the lighthouse in the fog for his children. Before this gets pun-ugly, I shall cease and desist and quietly slink about the house lit with night and moon light.
Thank you dear friend, I shall do my best…..
Happy Father’s day. Light the light of happiness.
Happy father’s day, hope you have a blast with your sweet children around:)
Thank you Huma, about to go and do just that.
you light up my day, Michael 🙂 Happy Father’s Day!
Thank you ladylee, I had a great day.
I’m sorry I missed your Father’s Day, Michael. That explains the pampering, doesn’t it? 😀 Your light globe salesman named Lighty made me laugh. Thanks for lightening my mood!
Hi Linda, thanks for stopping by, Father’s Day was very enjoyable and yes I was pampered. Glad I could give you a giggle…
