Four Little Words

by Beth

It's Monday and my brain is fried! See, last night I finished my 6th story for Superromance (Yay!!) Meaning I've spent the past few weeks with my nose to the grindstone - or in this case, my fingers to the keyboard *g* But the story is done, the h/h have achieved their hard-won happily-ever-after, and all that's left to do is one more final polish and then I can send this baby in :-)


So today, in order to give my tired brain a break, I thought we'd play a game. A friend posted this after seeing it on Facebook and the responses were very funny. Here we go:


You and I go out one night and wake up the next morning in jail. What is the first thing you say to me in FOUR words?


I can't wait to read what everyone comes up with!

  1. congrats PJ

  2. Congrats on finishing, Beth! I can't wait to read it!

    My four words? "Wow! What a dream!"

    ReplyDelete
  3. PJ! The GR may never want to leave your house again. I'm not sure if you will welcome that!

    My first four words on waking up in jail with you:

    "We need an alibi."

    Because I'm sure if we couldn't talk our way out of being arrested, we deserve to be there!

    This is an awesome game, by the way. I can't wait to read what everyone else posts!

    ReplyDelete
  4. PJ, I love your certainty that you would never actually be in a position to be arrested. Clean living!

    ReplyDelete
  5. Barbara, it would never cross my mind that I was being punked, but I'm glad you would be clear-eyed about it. I'm pretty sure I would be convinced I had done something unfortunate and, perhaps, in poor taste. *g*

    ReplyDelete
  6. Yay, PJ! You got the GR on your birthday.

    Congrats on finishing the book, Beth!

    I would probably say:

    "What the hell happened?" or "Woohoo! What a ride!" *vbg*

    ReplyDelete
  7. I would say...


    Awesome time last night.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  10. Hey Beth!

    So we wake up in jail...

    "Did we have fun?"

    ReplyDelete
  11. YAY on finishing another fab Beth Andrews book! Can't wait!

    Wow! That was fun!

    or (to borrow a line from a beloved friend) ...

    Same time, next week!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Congrats PJ - happy birthday, sweetie!

    ReplyDelete

    Whose knickers/panties are those?

    ReplyDelete

    Okay, let's try this.

    "We did what, when?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Congrats PJ - happy birthday, sweetie!

    Thanks, V-Anna! :)

    ReplyDelete
  16. Either:

    "Damn, that was fun!"

    OR

    "This is your fault."

    ReplyDelete
  17. Whose knickers/panties are those?

    Or: "Where are my knickers?"

    ReplyDelete
  18. Congratulations on finishing another book, Beth! And Happy Birthday, dear PJ!

    My four words: We need a lawyer.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Hey, PJ! What a nice birthday gift, a day with the GR! Happy Birthday :-)

    ReplyDelete
  20. Thanks, Barb! LOL! I'm sure I'd say the same thing *g*

    ReplyDelete
  21. Thanks, PJ. Only two more chapters to go over then I can send the book in *g*

    Love your four words!!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Am I being punked?

    LOL, Barbara! I'd wonder the same thing. Of course, I may not mind being punked if Ashton Kutcher was in jail with me *g*

    ReplyDelete
  23. Because I'm sure if we couldn't talk our way out of being arrested, we deserve to be there!

    Good point, Caren! LOL! Hmm...maybe we should all keep an attorney on speed dial, just in case ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  24. Tomorrow will be Tuesday

    Daz, that is perfect - especially for today! I'm anxiously awaiting for Tuesday to arrive :-)

    ReplyDelete
  25. Thanks, Gannon!

    Woohoo! What a ride

    LOL! We can only hope the night was worth the jail time, right? *vbg*

    ReplyDelete
  26. Awesome time last night.

    Yes, Christie! I'm sure anything we did to end up in jail meant we had a really good time *g* Though I'm not sure it'd be one we'd want to repeat ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  27. What will mom say?

    Great one, Laurie! And four little words I can only hope my own kids would say first if it ever happened to them *g* Because, believe me, I'd have A LOT to say!

    ReplyDelete
  28. This has happened AGAIN?

    ROFL, Laney! Too perfect!!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Happy Birthday, PJ !! The Golden One HAD to be there to help you celebrate. If he is in charge of the celebration I hope you have bail money tucked back!


    My four words ?

    "Damn that Richard Armitage!"

    ReplyDelete
  30. Congrats on finishing the book, Beth. I would say "Didn't I warn you."

    Congrats on the GR, PJ.

    ReplyDelete
  31. "Gotta live a little!"

    Congratulations, Beth, on finishing the book!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Hey, PJ, the rooster obviously wants some birthday cake!

    Hey, guys, did you know it's PJ's birthday? She's got a really cute post full of old photos over at the Romance Dish. http://www.theromancedish.com/

    ReplyDelete
  33. Beth, congrats on getting that baby in! Now for the next one, bwahahahahaha! Actually I'm really happy - means I've got another Beth Andrews to look forward to reading!

    Four words, huh? Man, no more margaritas!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Haven't read the other responses, but this is what I would say:

    "WHAT DID YOU DO?"

    Pat Cochran

    ReplyDelete
  35. PJ, congrats on the rooster!

    Beth, yay on finishing the ms! Way to go! I can't wait to read it.

    As for what I'd say, probably something along the lines of "[censored], this is bad." *g*

    Mark Chesnutt had a great song out the year the boy was born, "It Must be Monday," I think, was the title, and it was about a guy who'd had a blowout weekend and was trying to drag himself up to face the week.

  36. Well done PJ have fun with him

    Beth

    Whoo Hoo on finishing that book it must be a great feeling and I love the sound of that because it means there is another Beth book fo rme to read soon I do love your stories.

    This is going to be a fun game
    I would probably say

    "What have we done?"

    Have Fun
    Helen

    ReplyDelete
  37. LOL, Beth!! Hmm... besides, "Must be a Monday," how about, "Who do we call?"

    ReplyDelete
  38. My second four words:

    "WHY AM I HERE?"

    Pat Cochran

    ReplyDelete
  39. LOL, Gamemistress! Love it! And I'm sure it wouldn't be your fault. We could always blame Monday Morning ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  40. No problem, Suz. I can't wait for Addison to be in the lair tomorrow!

    Great four words *g* And I really hope that whatever landed me in jail was a whole lot of fun!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Thanks, Anna!

    Same time, next week!

    LOL! That was one of my faves, too :-)

    ReplyDelete
  42. Whose knickers/panties are those?

    ROFL! Now that sounds like an interesting night was had by all *g*

    ReplyDelete
  43. We did what, when?

    Very good questions, Dianna *g* You all are so good at this! I'm still trying to come up with something half as good :-)

    ReplyDelete
  44. Not again. Not again.

    LOL, Avery! That's a GREAT one!!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Hellion, all three of yours are good! Love the last one the best though ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  46. Thanks, Janga! I'm thrilled to be done. And in a few days, I get to start a new book. Yay!

    We need a lawyer.

    *g* Between the lawyer and Caren's alibi, we should be out in no time ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  47. From a true life experience 20 years ago, "Where's the US embassy?

    ReplyDelete
  48. Oh, no we didn't!

    Great one, Catslady!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Damn that Richard Armitage!

    LOL, Louisa! Richard Armitage could get me into trouble any time :-)

    ReplyDelete
  50. Thanks, Jane. I'm glad to be done - but I'm already anxious for revisions *g*

    Didn't I warn you.

    Ah, the voice of reason *g*

    ReplyDelete
  51. Got a tic tac?

    LOL, Karyn! Love it! So perfect :-)

    ReplyDelete
  52. Gotta live a little

    So true, Laurie! Another great one *g*

    Thanks for the congrats!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Man, no more margaritas!

    LOL, Fo! For some reason this made me think of that country song, Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off :-)

    ReplyDelete
  54. WHAT DID YOU DO?

    Hey, Pat! That would be my first question, too :-)

    ReplyDelete
  55. [censored], this is bad

    *g* Nancy, I think waking up in jail definitely calls for a few censored words ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  56. Thanks, Helen!

    What have we done?

    That seems to be the question, doesn't it? I just hope it was something fun :-)

    ReplyDelete
  57. ROFL over some of these!

    Great idea for a post on a Monday, Beth!

    Ever the practical one, Aunty would probably say, "Who's got bail money?"

    SUPER CONGRATS PJ and HAPPY HAPPY B.day!

    AC

    ReplyDelete
  58. AC, I would follow up my "We need an alibi" with "Who should we call?" Because you have friends, and then you have friends you call to bail you out of jail. Two very different categories.

    For instance, I know Jeanne or my friend Suse or my sister Susie would be in the car before the phone line went dead. With some other friends (or sisters) of mine, I would have to answer a bunch of questions and then hear about what a pain in the arsenic I was before they would pick up the car keys. ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  59. Mmm, I think I'll go with: "See you here tomorrow?"

    ReplyDelete
  60. Must be a Monday

    Oh, Fedora, isn't that the truth? Darn Mondays *g*

    ReplyDelete
  61. Where's the US embassy?

    Kim! Eek! Wow, I can't even imagine being in that situation.

    ReplyDelete
  62. No more table dancing.

    ROFL, Trish! But it sounds like so much fun and really, what's a night in jail compared to dancing on tables? *g*

    ReplyDelete
  63. Who's got bail money

    Yes! We would definitely need that, AC *g*

    ReplyDelete
  64. Oh, Caren, that is so true! I'd say I would call Tawny but she'd probably be right there by my side *g*

    ReplyDelete
  65. See you here tomorrow

    ROFL, allaboutthewriting! That's how you know you've had fun: You want to do it again ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  66. Considering how coherent I am in the morning:

    Where... how... who... what?!

    ReplyDelete
  67. Congrats on typing THE END.
    My four words: "What was in that?!"
