This is brilliant! Just brilliant! LOVE it! Such a clever take on the prompt! Loved so many parts of it! "Sweet Confection - commonly understood to be used for bribery" Brilliant! "Purse - no cash just moths" - had me in stitches! [And, overall, after having made me laugh and smile at your ingenuity, it made me more than a little nostalgic....time passes, they grow, we change...but a happy sort of nostalgic...thank you! Love it....Helen P.S. Any shot of Sean Connery (and Harrison Ford's torso in *that* shirt is always welcome too!
