THE LID
A trip to the dentist was imminent, the toothache was already beginning to engulf him. He grabbed the bottle of aspirin and gripping the lid,
he turned it ..... click
and turned it ... click
and turned it ... click
and turned it ... click
aaaagh... stupid bloody thing!
She took the bottle off of him.
"Here, let me do it for you, it's got one of those idiot proof lids on!"
"I thought they were called tamper proof lids?"
She paused a moment, then looked at him before making a gesture suggesting that he was right, then handed him the tablets.
It wouldn't be fair ... not with his toothache and everything.

I'm new to the 3WW but this is a great way to create a short story.
Yours is well written and entertaining. Great job.
Well, this one is light hearted but I think a toothache qualifies as the end of the world. The disaster theme continues for the three words. Only one blog so far links a positive outcome with the disaster theme.
Oh nice take, tricky take huh or is it the lid that's tricky!
Quite good one! Nice! :)
This was very funny. She was being kind when he was down.
LOL! I wonder if he appreciates her thoughtfulness ;)
Haha! Though I have one at home that can't open one with or without a toothache! *sigh*
Poor old bear! Those lids are tough..nicely created scene (and following up from Sunday Scribblings, full of love)..Jae
Absolutely love it. Hilarious. I needed the laugh. Happy 3WW. Mine is up as well!
Ah, men! Aren't they wonderful, and didn't you do a great job with this meme. I could hear the clicks and the frustration in his voice. Good stuff!

Oh, the ability to bite one's tongue is so necessary in a relationship. This was really well done.
