Writing Prompt: There is something in the water
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010
This prompt is brought to you by the cuteness of my dad’s new kitty. My dad has a little kitty named Patches, a lovely Siamese kitten with Calico patches where she should normally have dark seal points. He also has a Shitzu that belonged to my mom that we call Wookie.
The Wookie normally scratches at the bottom of his water dish when it is empty to let me know it needs refilled. I was in the kitchen watering plants and realized that the Wookie was acting like he wanted water in every way except he was not scratching at the bowl. Curious I looked back at his water bowl. It was bone dry with Patches curled up inside it spinning around as she chased her own tail around and around in the bowl by scooting along with her feet along the side of the bowl.
I looked back to the Wookie and realized he had this ‘Ummm… There is something in the water’ look to him as he looked between the kitten in his water bowl and me.
She was having so much fun I hated to shoo her out so I could put water in it.
It did make me think, though that “There is something in the water” would make a good prompt.
What might be in water that would make a good prompt? What if someone did find something weird (weirder than Patches at least, which is hard) in their dog’s water dish? What might it be?
