So welcome to My Life in Pages! Each day I will be creating a bit of something: fiction, poetry, a lyric, or even an entire short story. I will post my writing here on the blog, as well as on Facebook with the tag #mylifeinpages2016.
I hope you follow along. I think this is going to be fun! So, to start us off:

"I truly dislike when people fall in love with a horrid movie and try to bring it back into fashion," huffed Aunt Sophie. "What do that call that, anyway?"...
Aunt Millie snorted. "Stupid."
Roger pounced on her immediately. "You just said a bad word!" he shouted, racing off to find his swear jar.
"Stupid is not a bad word," Millie declared. "It's a matter of opinion, and in this case the correct one."
Sliding into the kitchen on his sock covered feet, he greedily shook the jar at his new favorite aunt. "You said it again! Gotta pay me double!"
Wrinkling her nose, she replied, "I wish your momma would spend more time on your manners than teaching you how to extort change from my meager means."
"You're not mean, Auntie. You just like the bad words more than anybody else I know." He flashed his crooked grin, and earned a mild chuckle.
Sophie shook the newspaper and muttered under her breath, "Somehow I doubt that."
Feeling the need to referee, I slid my feet into my worn slippers and padded out toward the kitchen, grabbing Aunt Millie's purse from her bedroom doorknob. "The term you want is cult following, Aunt Soph," I advised.
Her Sudoku book went flying as her startled gaze met mine.
