Welcome to Rainbow Snippets weekend!
I had a new release this week with Less Than Three Press (yeah!!!), so if you’re interested, check it out: https://lessthanthreepress.com/books/index.php?main_page=product_bookx_info&cPath=90&products_id=1604
As for our main character(s), Chester finally makes it home, and asks his dad (Carl) to look at the computer. Uh-oh…from “The Hippie Whisperer“… Longer than six sentences for context….
—————————————————————————————
Chester asked, “Can we use your computer?”
“Sure. What’s up?”
“You’ll see.”
A few minutes later I stared in horror at my monitor and shook my head vigorously. “No way in hell,” I said, unequivocally. A man’s garish profile grinned at me while Chester tried to convince me to participate in online dating.
“Why not?” he prodded.
“The guy has red, white, and blue stripes in his hair. He looks like a patriotic skunk.”
“Like you can talk with your thinning, shoulder-length, blond hippie hair and seventies sideburns. Neil Young would like his hair back.”
I now regretted watching all those documentaries on the History and Discover channels with him when he was younger. “Funny. I don’t see why I need to change anything.”
“For one thing, Carl, your hairline’s receding. And another, it’s 2014. No one wears their hair like that unless they’re a part of Greenpeace.”
“It’s Dad to you, and I like my hair just fine, thank you very much.”
“You’re in denial. All you need is some patchouli.”

Patriotic skunk did me in. What a fun snippet!
Haha – thank you! 🙂
We’ll see! 🙂
AW poor Carl 😀 I happen to like patchouli and I’m not….well, okay maybe I am a BIT of a hippie. But only a bit and mixed in with a whole lot of goth, rock, emo…tons of shit. 😀 I like the sound of Carl though, although I think maybe he should have smacked his son a bit more often 😀
I agree! 🙂
Fun snippet! Er, unless you’re Carl, I guess! 😉
Poor Carl! Thank you. 🙂
LOL, love the banter! Especially the comments about the patriotic skunk and Neil Young wanting his hair back! (chortles)
Hehe – thanks!
Okay. That’s funny. Best wishes on the new release! Thank you for sharing. And Happy Writing!
Thank you! 🙂
