How Many Does It Take… a Drabble for FriFic
“Hi, Cheryl, it’s me, Ethel. I have a big favor to ask.”
“Ask away, Ethel?”
“Do you remember my new chandelier?”
“I wouldn’t exactly call it a chandelier, but go on.”
“It burned out, I was wondering if you could help me.”
“Is this one of those ‘how many does it take to change a light bulb’ jokes?”
“No, this is serious. Would you come over and hold me up so I can put a new one in? I’ll be quick.”
“Oh for God’s sake. How bout I bring my ladder and hold you so you don’t fall off?”

100 Words from a photo prompt by Dale Rogerson, check out her stories, and of course everyone else at Friday Fictioneers! 
C’mon, Ethel, be reasonable! Pick you up… 😉
Love these two old birds!
Even with the ladder, I sense pending disaster here! 🙂
The favour is big, but how big is Ethel? Ladder definitely required, ladies!
If I were Ethel I’d hire ‘College Hunks’ to come over and help her with the chandelier! At least they would be fun to watch! 😆 Good one Ted! I love Ethel and Cheryl!!
That would be more like their friend near Detroit, Betty.
Nice story, Ted. The ladder sounds like a great idea!
Wonderful characters.
Dear Ted,
This has disaster written all over it. But the story made me laugh. 😀
Shalom,
Rochelle
Friends indeed!
Love is in the (chandel)air, maybe?
Ladder most definitely required! We all need friends like Cheryl 🙂
Uh oh, I’m with those who sense this is going to go wrong! The dialogue is pure slice of life.
Conjures up many funny images, Ted! 😆
Ethel and Cheryl are their adventures taken from women you know. Just asking curious minds want to know,
txs for the lol Tedster
Yes, Margie.
My suggestions would be “wear pants” … lol!
With those two dim-bulbs working on the problem, we may be in the dark for quite some time.
Ethel and Cheryl are like chalk and cheese, supportive in different ways. Loved this, I expect Cherly will go up the ladder in the end. Fun read.
I could actually picture Ethel and Lucy ( I Love Lucy) having this conversation 🙂
LOl..yes a ladder is a better idea!
Great to hear from Ethel and Cheryl. Although why Ethel wants Cheryl to hold her over a ladder, is anyone’s guess.
