Who's Getting All the Ditzy Jokes Now .. Eh?

Something that was going to be a quickie, but turned out to be a bit more detailed I guess!



I wasn't sure I was going to make something in the next day or two, because honestly the images I've been viewing on the interwebz has sort of sucked .. and then I saw this one and immediately was struck with the idea of "being distracted by shiny objects" so I guess you could say that I was distracted by someone being distracted by a shiny object! So I snagged the picture and put it in a caption setting.

From there it was just fleshing it out, but I figured it would be a quick paragraph or two, and then my brain expanded the story a bit as I was writing it, with the bit about Dee Dee not doing housework anymore, and the protagonist having to pick up the slack .. which led him down the rabbit hole to ditzy housewife mode.

And I am glad I did, and think that the caption is a lot better for it. There's even a bit of foreshadowing so to speak with the butterflies in the background, as the kitchen is a bit of a cocoon for the lady in red.

I guess we could ponder how Dee Dee did this to her tormentor, but I don't have an idea. It'd probably be ironic if it was in some sort of herbal tea supplement, wouldn't it? Feel free to come up with your own theory down below. Also, I'm extending the AMA (Ask Me Anything through the end of Memorial Day Weekend.

Perhaps Doralee (Dolly Parton's character from 9 to 5, which is what I'm naming the protagonist in this caption) was getting ready to pour herself a cup of ambition before heading into work?!? Sounds good to me!
