Brevity by Dan Thompson for May 14, 2022

Sorry. I’ve got the flue.

This is going to become heated.

is mantle spelled incorrectly ?

Hey, Ted, every day Brick logs on to your fireside chat group and looks for you.

He even invited you for a smoke last Fireday, but he thought you blew him off…. and that you were being a little hearth.

….

It’ll be grate if you guys can meet andiron things out…

Just please keep it light Ted, …. and don’t make ashes of yourselves.

He’s all fired up about something…

They kind of share a mantel.

Dad is finally going to light a fire under that boy.

We’ve both got the flue. It’s going around.

Oh soot, Dad. Mom already had ‘the talk’ with me.

is this going to be a fireside chat…?

This house ain’t big enough for the both of us!

Twin fireplaces, now THAT is a ritzy mansion!
