The mechanic wouldn’t listen. Something was wrong with Norman, but he refused to hear that it might be the battery. My university stuff was crammed in the back seat, on top of the battery. My dad drove 7 hours through the Rockies the next day, we emptied the back seat, and Norman started right up. What would I know, though? I’m just a woman!
Characters: 280
This is the first time I’ve participated in Twittering Tales and it was really fun. The picture immediately brought to mind this memory and after some tweaking, I was thrilled to get it to 280 characters exactly. Oh, and thanks, Dad! 😊
Here are the rules:

Instructions per Kat:
“About the challenge: Each Tuesday I will provide a photo prompt. Your mission, if you choose to accept the challenge, is to tell a story in 280 characters or less. When you write your tale, be sure to let me know in the comments with a link to your tale. This is important as I have noticed that some of the ping backs have not been working. If you would prefer to post your tale in the comments (some people have very specific blog themes but still want to participate), I am happy to post a link to your site when I post your tale in the Round Up.
A final note: if you need help tracking the number of characters in your story, there is a nifty online tool that will count for you at charactercountonline.com.
I will do a roundup each Tuesday, along with providing a new prompt. And if for some reason I missed your entry in the Roundup, as I have occasionally done, please let me know. I want to be sure to include your tale.
Finally, have fun!”
❤️ Amanda

Thanks Kat, so fun! I figured it was a story most women would relate to. Can you please help my silly self to figure out how to post the link in your comments? I can’t find your comment button anywhere! 🤓

There is a comment box below the like section and a list of similar/previous prompts. But I did notice that your pingback worked. That’s how I found you! 😊

Okay maybe I just didn’t scroll down far enough. Do I need to post in your comments as well or is the pingback okay? Such a great challenge, thanks for hosting!

My pleasure! Pingbacks sometimes don’t work. But they’re usually sufficient. 😊
