The Last Cookie (wee #43)

_ _ = italics

“You gonna eat that last fortune cookie?”

“You betcha’.”

“You know what Confucius say about that?”

“What?”

“Confucius say: she who consume last fortune cookie will have wider behind.”

“Are you saying my behind is _already_ wide?”

“Relax, sweetheart. It’s a joke.”

“Well then, I _am_ going to take the last cookie.”

“Okay, but you know what Con…”

“Hey, listen to this fortune: He who has chop suey for brains gets no nookie and sleeps on sofa.”

“It’s a joke, right?”

“Nope.”

This confirms two universal truths. Woman are preoccupied with how their butts look and men are preoccupied with..well..
Writing short stuff is really hard to do and this had me laughing out loud. Well done.

wisdom used in a battle...nice flow btwn the leads, using Confucius as leverage always hits an interesting note

Oh, damn! Very funny piece, Heidi. Got a wider smile on my face. Not to say that I had a wide one to begin with, haha...

You did the dialogue-only type of story very well. A great read and very enjoyable.

Great witty take on the theme. Loved the dialogue, and the prickliness around the intimation that her behind is big. Classic.
I've probably heard more fake Confucius quotes in my life than the real thing. I'm with Arley - nookie beats all the other euphemisms. And it rhymes with cookie.
