Me x 3

~ Sonya

‘No,’ Three says, grabbing my hand. ‘Here, like this.’ She hands me chopsticks, says something that sounds like it’s a ducky mess* and tucks in. I look at the sushi. Why can’t I take it in my hand like I normally do?

Two bursts in. ‘Donde esta mi arroz?’ She glares at Three. ‘Don’t you dare use that lame excuse again. I checked. They sell Japanese rice online.’

‘Say something, One,’ they whinge in unison.

They’re driving me bonkers. I wanted my clones to travel. I wanted to absorb their experiences. Instead, I’ve become the arbiter in the rice wars.

The story was inspired by the following posts (thank you, ladies!), which in turn were a response to the Clone Wars prompt:

*  As much as I’d like to be able to take credit for it’s a ducky mess, I didn’t come up with it. It’s from the Sarah & Duck episode Fast Slow Bungalow. If you have small children, check it out. It’s brilliant.

  1. Ah, Sonya, a joy. Unfortunately, I think you’re right- clones would be more trouble than they’re worth- too many people, too alike. But still, when there’s a stack of washing up or my son’s stood in some dog mess again… the idea’s so tempting.

    1. Cheers! What do you want edited? I’ll do it for you. It is a little annoying that you can’t edit your own comments, though…

    1. You know, that’s my fault. I put in the wrong link and only realised it yesterday! So, only ten months late, it finally goes to the right blog post… You’re welcome 🙂
