As a busy, single mom of four robust boys, organisation was key to handling life. Storage was a major element in the parental organisational plan. Mason jars were Sal’s new thing. They could store anything from bits and bobs, jam, pencils, coins, spices – you name it.
Devon had even found it useful for his school project. Some odd-looking crafty thing. She didn’t ask any questions. The main thing is he did it on his own. Later at work, she questioned the jar’s usefulness, when she reached for her lunch (salad in a jar), and pulled out Devon’s project instead.

This was a challenging picture for me. It’s a bit late but I wish all my fellow fictioneers a Happy and Prosperous New Year! Looking forward to another year with this awesome lot.

If it was, I’m guess Sal lost her appetite

Dear Fatima,
Like Neil, I’m guessing Devon’s project wasn’t too appetizing. But it did make me laugh. Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Teehee! You tease our imaginations with that story, Fatima. I wonder how Devon explained the salad to his teacher…

Perhaps he tried to pass it as his project? Thank you, Penny.

The old switch-er-roo. When all the containers look and feel the same, getting them mixed up is easy. Fun tale, Fatima.

I don’t think she should eat that. Prank? Or mistake?

Just a mistake. Her organisational plan is not really working for her. And eating it would be a bad idea.

Great and amusing take, it reminded me of when people put washing in a black bin bag and then put out the wrong bag for collection
