She was adamant she'd seen a pixie running across the lino in the kitchen. Never one to fabricate, I took into account her 5th glass of wine, and smiled.
"It was most peculiar," she said, shaking her head. "It had a bright pink hat on!"
I leant over the chair and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Hey Gran, what do you say we go up to bed now?"
She looked at her empty glass and tutted. "Might as well, there's no wine left in the kitchen anyway."
I raised my eyebrows. "Mmm, I know ... strange that, I can't think where it all went."
"I know," she answered innocently. Then paused for a moment, deep in thought, "... but do you know what Amy?" She gestured over to the kitchen door and whispered, "it wouldn't surprise me if that damn pixie didn't drink some!"

LOL, I love it! (Pixies DO like wine you know.) :-)
Wonderful write on the prompt...
Funny and cute. Great idea. :)
Good job, Deborah. Almost sounds like a true story. :)
And I'm sure she's right :-)
Nice one.
What a delightful little tale, and I bet grandma was right, pixies do drink you know; their favourite tipple is a cocktail of Drambuie and nectar.
Hi Deborah..I have just come from Susannah's site and imagined a scene with an imaginative granny..I love both equally..the love and tenderness..you just want to believe so much! Jae :)
That is absolutley hilarious and cute and fun and creative and (insert your own adjectives liberally here) LOVE IT!!!
OK, this is downright scary. The girl has my name, the mom is soused, and she's seeing pixies. Did you inhabit my brain last night, because I had one of those fun/weird dreams about hangin' with mom...!
GREAT take! Here's a laugh for you:

We all seem to have grandparents on our minds today
Your ending is FANTASTIC. I very much enjoyed reading it!
My ex-husband's grandmother used to put beer out for the "little folk" at night. This was delightful.
Thank you all everso much for your wonderful comments ... it seems pixies DO drink after all! LOL
That is so cute! And yes, Pixies do love wine. :D
Oh, I love, love, love this!

:) I laughed out loud at this one. A delight, Deborah!
A well crafted funny tale.
Oh yes, those naughty pixies are everywhere! This made me laugh - thank you:-)
I wish the pixies had stopped by and finished off my wine tonight. For some reason, I seem to be allergic to it now.
Great story!
Wonderful! Sounds like my gramma!
Thank you all for your lovely comments x :o)
I bet it did and all!
I like that Gran, she has hold of the right end of things.
I agree Friko! :o) x
This is brilliant, Deborah! I had a great laugh to myself, even as I realized it could easily have been a tale about my fey Irish relatives, who believe in fairies and definitely like to imbibe...LOL!
Thank you Lynette x
Your Irish relatives sound wonderful! :o)
I think those pixies have visited me too, lovely piece.
