And WHACK! just like that, the romantic moment is splintered. This is a lot of fun, because it leads us up the garden path then jerks out the rug from under our rubber boots.

I love it. Nothing unusual here... just the usual activity between a couple who know, understand and laugh with their partner of 50 years. Totally acceptable... and expected... along with all those romantic moments.
Thanks for sharing this with us.

Right on point. This is exactly what my dad would do to my mom. More of this type of humor is needed on the site and I'll be looking for this piece in the voting booth.

Love ... forever love ... belongs to the heart. Didn't say anything in the rule book about sharing those crispy, salty fries, now did it? LOL Cute and a darling picture! Good luck in the contest.
Smiles, Carol

Oh, the romance of it all. Your last line confirms that this is an anniversary dinner for two, not a couple newly in love. Oh, they may still be in love, but one must protect their fries. Very fun flash.

I liked the way you set up the romantic scene for this Golden wedding anniversary dinner then finish it off with the reprimand to"get your other hand away from my fries". A fun way to finish it off. Good luck in the contest,
Cheers

Heh heh. How funny is that, the scene is set, the romantic dinner, the loving couple, the dimmed lights presumably, but then the faux pas, get your hands off my chips! Well done, great post, good luck, blessings Roy

This is true flash fiction, written with a great introduction, vivid descriptions, realistic dialogue, and a surprise or humorous ending. Best wishes in the contest.

ROFL! Yes, by the time the Golden Anniversary comes into play things have certainly changed quite a bit over time. But I love how you played the old bait and switch with the other hand. Leading us one way, then brings the fries into play. LOL. Thanks for sharing.
