: Spring Ahead by Bill Schott
100 Word Story writing prompt entry

A hand petting my nose woke me. Harsh light had me squinting.

"Morning, Daddy!"

"Hi, Petunia. Where's Mommy?"

"She got a phone call when we were doing breakfast. Then she got a bunch of stuff and ran out the door."

"Do you know who called?"

"No, but she grabbed the clock off the little table and screamed at it."

"What!?"

My daughter began to rock on the bedspread and smile.

"Mommy was calling someone a stupid son of something and shaking the clock."

"Shaking the clock?"

"She kept saying SPRING AHEAD! SPRING AHEAD!"

"Did you finish your breakfast? Do I have any?"

"I had a cold Eggo."

I half smiled and started to get up.

"Mommy said to tell you if you wanted breakfast to -- each it."

I began to ask her to repeat herself, but then realized I didn't really want that at all.
