Tiger Feet

“I once took on a tiger in a fight to the death with just an umbrella and a pair of socks.”

The kids looked on with a mix of amazement and disbelief. Their mum, often quick to shut down my stories, had lowered the bar for what I’d normally get away with.

“It came at me fast. I grabbed the umbrella and twirled it around, hypnotising it. Within seconds I had the tiger clucking like a chicken and running the other way!”

The kids thought for a moment.

“But what about the socks?”

“Oh, they were all I had on.”

    Oh, that was a hilarious one! Going to have to share this one… again, and again. Oh what a hoot and holler this will cause. The kiddos will love it! The parents… well, they’ve come to expect such from me. LOL!

    You did a good job of painting a picture in my mind. I was trying to make my face a mix of amazement and disbelief.

    Dear Mr. B,

    I’ll bet his kids will share his stories with their own children. I can hear Mum groaning…and giggling. Love this.

    Shalom,
