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 ?

Two of us who would love to spend more time together than we are able.

Spurred me on to qualify for the job I’d been wanting for ages.

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.

I’ve had enough.
What d ‘ya mean?
I’m being serious.
Nah you’re not.
I am. Listen.
It’s over now.
I’m worth more.
Don’t be daft.
See you around!
In your dreams.

You look nice.

Have you lost weight?

maxdecatt Thu 21-Feb-19 17:46:00

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?

It's a boy!

You're a grandma.

Love you Nana.
