Oh my! What a state the boys! especially Joe, must have been in to spout such words. I wonder how Hoss got the short straw to go to town and warn Ben. Thanks for the chuckle.

Chavel – Yes, what a state the boys put themselves in. And as for why it was Hoss who had to go tell Pa… I would say there was the old match trick they always pull on him, but Pa wasn’t home. So I guess it was all because Hoss was the one in the picture Cheaux chose. 😉
Let this be a warning against too much drink, I hazard to think what other punishment Pa will heap on them on top of having to work on the barn roof.
I’m glad you enjoyed the read and left a review!

I loved this! Very clever use of the prompt picture and the dialogue was priceless. Well done!
Author’s Response:
Cheaux, finding your review made my morning. Thank you very much.
Although I must apologize for falling a little ‘short’ of the old saying, A Picture Paints a Thousand Words. Hopefully, with next month’s and subsequent challenges, I’ll be able to reach that goal. I can’t wait to see what the rest of 2014 will bring for this challenge. I look forward to participating.

jdducker, thanks for letting me know you loved it. It was a real quick and fun story to write. With Hoss’ expression and Ben just standing there so seriously, it just popped into my head.

Thank you for reading and reviewing.
This is kind of a funny little story. Thanks
Seems every one wants to get Ben and Widow Hawkins together…don’t know who I feel most sorry for really…
Krystyna, Thank you for reading and commenting. I don’t really want them together, because then I’ll have to feel sorry for the boys, no more sorry for Hop Sing. I can’t IMAGINE the fireworks if those two were to go at it! :O
Ben’s exasperation is so clear. 🙂 I love how all the boys will skirt an issue and come up to it sideways when they know they’ve had a hand in the craziness. Cute little story.
CJT, thank you for reading and commenting. Yes, those boys can skirt around an issue just as easily as they can chase a skirt.
