Three little words.

I was at the surgery the other day--very dishy young male doctor---and as I left he said "Mrs C, you look amazing, for your age. I would have much preferred to have done without those three. I thought what a difference just three little words can make, for good or for ill, like these---
Please marry me.
It's a boy.
It's a girl.
I'm leaving you.
It's too late.
We're so sorry.
There's no hope.

What three word combinations have made an impact on you ?

chicken. Lovely question for me today!

I was ill yesterday and nearly all night with horrible migraine and painful sickness. Still feeling grim I am muddling around, in my pjs this a.m. and the Amazon big monthly heavy delivery arrived for the dogs' food and puppy pads.
Unable to move well, with a puppy gate by the door and another smaller but similar parcel still on the floor by the door from yesterday, I didn't know what to do.

I began apologising and said I was a bit ill.

Huge smile from the young man. In a strong accent I think may be Nigerian, he told me to do nothing as he lifted the huge box over the puppy gate nearly falling over it himself. As he left he said:
"God bless you and keep you , in the name of Jesus our Saviour!"

I felt as though the Spirit had washed right through me and I was healed.

I am pregnant.
Is it yours?
Are you sure?
All of you?
Lights were off
Oh my God.
Boys had fun.
It was fun.
I thought so.
I know you.
I could tell.
How could you?
Obviously, the size.
The size counts?
No mistaking it.
Do it again?
Sure, why not.
Get in line.
Okay, you're first.
Thanks. Next please.
Pregnant? What, again!

You could create an entire short story with lines of three words. Anyone care to add the next 10 lines?

I’ll pop back. My youngest, 14 years ago just before Christmas, leaving with two weeks’ notice for the other side of the world with a new boyfriend. She’s still there, still with him.
