Thursday Journal with Neet

 ' I am a teller of unpopular truths' are the words this week and I was a bit puzzled as to what I could do with this one. To comply with Matilde's theme of 'What makes you happy' on  Art Journal Journey I have added some butterflies, that I love to see on my plants in the garden. Alex and her friend Paula are having an afternoon chatting and as usual Paula was sitting on her fungi stool and boasting about how she had been studying really hard for her business studies exams. She was brilliant at typing and shorthand, and needed to concentrate on the business side of it. They were  both doing the same course so she didn't want Alex to drop out because she hadn't worked hard enough. "As I know you haven't done any revision at all Alex and you really need to, don't you think you should get down to it and put a good few hours in and revise the bits you are not sure of" As Paula knew her so well there was no point in Alex trying to deny it so she just kept quiet and shrugged her shoulders. "You know I am right Alex, but you know me I am the teller of unpopular truths, so I'm sorry if you are mad at me but it's for your own good. Alex was still very quiet and the only thing she could think of saying was " I don't like the way you have stuck those butterfly pictures on your wall, they are in a v shape, and geese fly in a v not butterflies" With that, they both started laughing and went to make a cup go coffee.

I had to laugh at the butterfly comment by Alex. What a perfect retort for the
"teller of truths." This is a wonderful entry and I'm glad you found a way to meet both challenges. That makes ME happy, too. Thanks for sharing this with us using Matilde's theme at AJJ, Wendy.
