When I was a kid, my dad used to tell a funny story about how his dad once dumped a bowl of tapioca pudding on his head for taking a too-big portion, and we’d all laugh around the dinner table, and it was only decades later that I realized it’s not funny at all, and I can’t help but wonder, how many other “funny” stories from my childhood are actually terrible?

What’s a One Sentence Story?

My friend Robin Taylor (he/him) has been writing One Sentence Stories every day in December, and he’s inspired me to join him. These stories are all true, and yes, they’re probably full of run-on sentences. But hey, as long as it’s just one sentence, it counts! Want to join the fun? Tag us both so we can read along and share!
