Way’s To Say I Love You
The teacher in our adult-education creative-writing class told us to write “I love you” in 25 words or less, without using the words “I love you.” She gave us 15 minutes. A woman in the class spent about ten minutes looking at the ceiling and wriggling in her seat. The last five minutes she wrote frantically, and later read us the results:
- “Why, Ive seen lots worse hairdos than that, honey.”
- “These cookies are hardly burned at all.”
- “Cuddle upIll get your feet warm.”
