Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich by BermyBye50
75 Word Flash writing prompt entry

 

The Chinese restaurant was bustling. Our parents, celebrating their 10th anniversary, brought all six of us along for dinner.

As the waiter took our orders he asked, "And what would you like, young lady?"

LornaJean, our youngest sister, nervously replied, "Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich, please!"

We all laughed, even the waiter.

Dad shook his head, chuckling. "Well, it's her special night too."

Mom kissed Dad's cheek, whispering, "Here's to many more years of surprises."
