Ooooooh, Shoe in Trouble!
“Where’s your other—”
“Shhhhhh.” My older sister shot me a daggered look, then smiled sweetly as Dad glanced back in the rearview mirror.
“If I have to go to this stupid reunion,” Kristin whispered, “I’m gonna get new shoes for my big date.”
“We ready?” Mom slid into the front passenger seat and clicked her seatbelt. “Anyone forget anything?”
“I think we’re good,” Kristin chirped.
Mom turned and tossed the missing shoe into Kristin’s lap. “Nice try, Cinderella. Act up today and you’re grounded Friday.”
I bit back a grin.
Maybe Prince Charming has a thing for old tennis shoes…
As always, many thanks for Rochelle Wisoff-Fields for hosting Friday Fictioneers! Stop over and read a wonderful array of 100-word-fiction pieces based on this photo prompt!

Yes, exactly that! They only realize it later, when they’re the ones in the front seat of the car…

Dear Angela,
Not doubt the younger sister got a kick out of this. Fun stuff.

I agree. I think she enjoyed watching the process (and maybe taking notes) ;). Thank you for the comment, Rochelle!

Also, I couldn’t get my comment to post on your story this week…sigh. I tried to say: Hehehe! Yes, a writer must be careful what she says. Ironically, writers are also always on the listen for stories…
