Billy Refuses To Go : Genre Shorties Wk 47

Billy defiantly said he wouldn’t go. His mother, a Tigress, threatened potato peeling instead of tennis, if this decision stood.

Billy started crying, so she decided to use no whip and took Billy in her arms and asked, ‘Why are you being a sissy crybaby kid?’ He then told her his experience at his uncle’s last Halloween.

A stranger had looked in his bag and said, "And then, down there at the very bottom? Those two buzzard wings?" Billy sobbed, ‘That grossed me out and I could not eat candy’ His mama replied, ’I thought you were on a diet.’

Ha Ha! You never know what's at the bottom of a trick or treat bag, do you?
Good one, Bill.
William Dotani Jan 26, 2011, 4:19pm UTC
I saw Stephen Colbert interview the Tiger lady and it gave me this idea. Thank you.

I am back on Gather, for a few hours a week. I wanted your post to be the first. You lucky
guy. If I was Billy. I think I would cry too.
William Dotani Jan 26, 2011, 10:29pm UTC
I'm deeply touched and honored. Thank you.
I hope you've gotten better.

Glad to give you a chuckle. Thank you.

Hmm... maybe he missed out. Coulda been chocolate buzzard wings, no? (No.)
William Dotani Jan 26, 2011, 10:51pm UTC
This is Prez Obama's fault. I mean he wants kids to eat healthier and buzzard wings have protein and are not fattening. One can only think the obvious when replacing kid sugary treats with buzzard wings in the school lunch and how it will make high school a Goth experience.
Thank you.

Buzzard wings. Yummy. I'm sure every child will appreciate them as a replacement for sugary snacks.

Charlie Brown would be envious; all he got was a stupid rock.
William Dotani Jan 27, 2011, 2:26pm UTC
Yes, a rock isn't chewy. Thank you.
Liz H. Jan 27, 2011, 5:59pm UTC
Besides being full of protein, the feathers on buzzard wings can be used to clean one's teeth, later....(Ewwwwwww!)
Great take on the prompt, William!
William Dotani Jan 28, 2011, 11:27pm UTC
Buzzard wings are both tasty and thrifty Thank you.
t b. Jan 27, 2011, 8:05pm UTC
Lol this is funny William!
William Dotani Jan 28, 2011, 11:27pm UTC
Thank you.

Sorry with all the cutbacks and no cost of living , Billy was not the only one having to eat wings. I finally had to cook that turkey. It layed some oranges instead of eggs. so now I do have a few meals. He hasn't put me in the third world country yet. No Buzzard wings.
William Dotani Jan 28, 2011, 11:29pm UTC
I wish you would write a story about your turkey and the magic oranges it lays. Thank you.
Donna C. Jan 27, 2011, 10:32pm UTC
Funny story William.
Buzzard wings for protein in school lunches,
well, that makes perfect sense, since catsup is
a vegetable!!!
William Dotani Jan 28, 2011, 11:31pm UTC
So glad you agree and your idea your school board should see. More catsup in a school lunch for creating vegetable thinking.
Thank you.

Is that what you do when you hear buzzard wings are being cooked?
Thank you.
Ann K. Jan 28, 2011, 12:59am UTC
That was a darn big treat bag to hold a couple of buzzard wings. Funny story!
William Dotani Jan 28, 2011, 11:32pm UTC
Thank you.

I hear that buzzard wings are the most sought after treat among children living in the bayou.
William Dotani Jan 28, 2011, 11:33pm UTC
Some think people go to the Mardi Gras for beads, but they are really there for buzzard wngs. Thank you.
Shelbia C. Jan 28, 2011, 10:38pm UTC
I had to smile. Nilly reminds me of my daughter. She had a similar experience involving bananas
William Dotani Jan 28, 2011, 11:35pm UTC
Your daughter's tale would be a nice story to post on Gather. Thank you.
Marge H. Feb 2, 2011, 9:18am UTC
Sounds like a great diet aid. I think I'd swear off sugary treats too.
William Dotani Mar 2, 2011, 4:18pm UTC
