9.19 Drabble: Clever
It’s been a few days since I did a Drabble due to a heavy meeting schedule at work. I’m back though! I hope I am not rusty. Today’s drabble is inspired by one of my favorite Kids in the Hall sketches called TRY IT NOW!
Tomas leaned against his car, frustrated and late for work. His always clever neighbor Jilly passed by on her morning walk.
"Car trouble?"
Tomas shrugged.
"Pop the hood," she said, walking around to the front of the car. Skeptical, Tomas obliged. With her hands on her hips, Jilly stared, mused, hummed. Then she reached in and jiggled… something.
"Try it now," she called out.
To Tomas's amazement, the engine roared to life. "How did you do that?"
Jilly winked, then stepped back onto the sidewalk, arms already pumping. "YouTube University. And my dad's a mechanic. See ya later!"
