Friend of this blog, Amy Kelly, has created SPASMS Project, a collection of very short stories at a rate of a story-a-day for over a year.
“I can’t help it, words are interesting. What if they weren’t called fingers, they were called something else? Would that change my fingers? Would it change how I used them?”
“Other mothers have daughters who want to talk about ponies and princesses,” Mother chuckled.
“What if ponies and princesses were called zounds and zebras?”
“They’d still be the same thing, Vivian.”
She rolled her head around to look at her mother. “How do you know?”
“These, for instance. What I’m holding. What are they?”
“Pruning shears.”
Mother shook her head. “‘Pruning shears’ is a label, words we use to mean something. You should never confuse a label with what it stands for.”
“But they really are pruning shears.”
