Red Light Special...Saturday Centus

This is my first time,
so be gentle.

It's been a long time since
I have said that!

Well, this is my first time...
to participate in Jenny Matlock's

It is a themed writing meme.
Each Saturday, Ms. Matlock will give
a writing prompt.
Your assignment...
if you choose to accept it...
is to write a 100 word story.
Yes, 100 words or less...
not including the "prompt words".
Oh, and the prompt words can
be used anywhere in your story!

Sounds like fun, doesn't it?
The writing prompt is good for the entire week,
so you can join in at any time!

THIS WEEK'S PROMPT:

"May I help you, miss? You look puzzled."

"Mmmm...thank you, I'm just looking for my father.
We came in together a moment ago, but he seems to have
wandered off."

So here is my contribution

"May I help you, miss? You look puzzled."

"Mmmm...thank you, I'm just looking for my father. We came in together a moment ago, but he seems to have wandered off."

He was always wandering off. Disappearing was his specialty.

He could play this game with her mother, but she wasn't falling for it. Would she find him chatting up the blonde at the cosmetics counter or flirting with the brunette he spotted in house wares?

She was going to catch his sorry rear this time and stop him before any damage could be done. She owed that much to her devoted mother.

She heard his laughter and turned just in time to see him walk out the door with a blender in one hand and the brunette in the other.
