“Personal Music”
By Scott L Vannatter -100 Words
“It’s my birthday present,” Jacob said with some defiance.
“I know that,” his Mother retorted,” but you tore it apart. Now it won’t play anymore.”
“I have been … working on it.”
“Oh My God. What have you done now?” She was so very tired of Jacob taking things apart to do other things with them. The last little escapade was him trying to create a self-running iron. She had to buy a new iron and three shirts.
Jacob looked at her and said nothing. Instead he opened his mouth and a symphony began playing.
He stopped when she fainted.

I can just see Mom collapsing. It made me wonder what song was playing when he opened his mouth. A great write, Scott.

Hi Scott,
Great, wild ending and I liked the interplay between the mother and her son. I’ve actually known some children like that, and I think they just have a big natural curiosity about how things work. Entertaining and creative story. Ron

Haahaa! Loved it! The dialog feels so natural and the ending has such a great twist! I think I would have fainted (or maybe farted – like Bert had suggested? 😉 ) too. Great story!

Dear Scott,
OMG, I gave birth to the same child by a different name. My youngest kept dismantling his drums and used the parts to create other things. Fortunately for me he never constructed an iron.
Too funny for more words. ROLMAO
Shalom,

Dear Scott,
I have been sitting here laughing non stop for about two minutes. the chuckles are still coming and I can only bow down to your comic genius and say, “I’m not worthy.” Very well done and thanks for the laugh.
Aloha,

It was a great read, although my strange mind replaced some letters in the last word, so an accompannying rythm would reverberate.
