Pink T-shirt
Round 5 of the Slingink Scribbling Slam saw my story about pink undies (and a pink football jersey - see picture) come in eighth. I'm still leading the pack though, one point ahead of my closest rival - more about my closest rival once the competition's over!
My Round 5 story, In the Pink, was based on a true life incident. Somehow a bright red item of my wife's clothing got in the washing machine with the whites, leaving all my six-year-old son's underwear pink. At first he was horrified, what with all the doll marketing on TV portraying pink as a girlie colour; but eventually he got over it - in spite of me calling him 'Pinkie' once or twice.
In the Pink revolves around a teenager's newly purchased red football jersey getting in the wash with the whites (i.e. his and the rest of the family's underwear) and everything coming out of the washing machine pink. From that point on, life's one teenage crisis after another.
As usual, the story's been submitted for possible publication. Meantime, we await the final round results of the Slingink Scribbling Slam short story competition.
