A Gift for Mom “Hey, David, you got any ideas what to give your mother for Mother’s Day? I don’t have a clue what to get mine.” “Ever thought of asking her what she’d like?” “Well, then, it wouldn’t be a surprise!” “No, but you’d know something that would make her happy. Isn’t that the important thing?” “Well, yeah, but, I want to surprise her.” “Well, Ronald, old man, you asked; I answered.” “No, you didn’t.” “Did, too.” “No. I asked you for an idea for something I could give her, and you said, …” “I know what I said. I gave you a suggestion and you didn’t like it.” “Okay. Forget it. I’ll ask her. See ya Monday.” ~ ~ ~ Hi, Ronald. So, how’d Mother’s Day go?” “You don’t want to know.” “Why? What happened? Your mom didn’t like what you gave her?” “Not exactly.” “Meaning?” “Meaning I asked her what she wanted, like you said, and she ‘Surprise me.’ And I didn’t know what to get, so I …” “So you what?” “Didn’t.” “You didn’t get your mom a Mother’s Day present? For Pete’s sake, Ronald, you could’ve at least gotten her a box of candy.” “I did.” ‘Oh. Well, good. So, why didn’t you give it to her?” “I ate it.” Writing Prompt Write a story using only dialogue.
