642 Things to Write About: What Can Happen in a Second?

The first writing prompt from, 642 Things to Write About,  asked: what can happen in a second?

The answer:  The author stares at the question for two minutes trying to figure it out.

I think for this writing prompt, instead of writing a story, I’ll make a list.  Maybe someday, I’ll make use of it.

1. I could drop something – anything really. What have I dropped today?  Crumbs….no wait….that wasn’t me…that was my two-year-old.

2. I could stub my toe.

3. I could stare off into space while typing this up, wondering what the hell my husband is watching on television. It sounds like a fight is going down but there’s a kitten meowing in the background.

4. Car accidents – they only take a second to happen.

5. Annoying people.  I’m the reigning queen in this category and on a good day, it takes me less than a second.

6. Changing diapers.  I have a two-year-old who isn’t potty trained and a one-year-old who loves to climb on top of the two-year-old during a diaper change.  So….yeah….I have to move fast.

7. It only takes a second for my two-year-old to dump his food on the floor.

8. Frightening someone.  If you’re me, you tell your husband, upon returning home from having an ultrasound done, that the doctor made a mistake and you’re actually having not one, but twenty children.  Good times.

9. Writing a grocery list.  Normally this takes longer than a second, but it only takes a second for my toddler to grab my pen and run through the house with it.

10. Spelling errors.  They only take a second to make, but if you know the same people I do, you hear about those spelling errors everyday…for the rest of your life.

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood that test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
