“What’s the plan?”, I asked.
He pondered for a moment and said, “I’d love to eat and play”, with a mischievous glint.
“Play?”, I asked sceptically.
“Yes, we’d start with the first base and finally hit a home run”, he said with all seriousness.
I nodded foolishly. I’ll have to look up the meaning later.
Join me in enjoying blogs from fellow A to Zers… Corinne Rodrigues, Cat Graham, Claudia H. Blanton, Cheryl Wright today! Do share some blog love with them too!

Hehe 😀 it is someone like me!! I will have to look up the meaning too 😛
I am laughing out loud at your comment, Swathi! 😀
Oops!! *Hides her face* 😳
Haha 😀 So she got confused hmmn 😛
Yes, so it seems 😛
Confused….though I hope they enjoy 🙂
LOL 😀
I am confused too :p :p
Caged
You too, Nibha!! Ok, but my purpose is solved 😀
Lovely. Short and sweet:)
🙂
anything to do with baseball leaves me confused – cricket too! Love this Shilpa thank you 🙂
I know a bit about baseball but cricket is like a religion in India, so on a good wicket there! Thanks Susan 🙂
I also need to look for the meaning 🙂 Nice
Et tu, Sundari! Not expected from you, the writer of amazing romance books!! 🙂
It’s an American expression originating from baseball I think. I am more familiar with British expressions 😎
Haha…i guess there would be some people confused at that. He’s pretty confident about that home run 😉
Well, if readers are also confused as the girl in the story, I guess the mission confusion is achieved! 😉 Ya, he is 😀
Great! So sweet.
Thks Ma’am! 🙂
Hehehe…she probably got the shock of her life later 😉
I know 😉
You’ve confused us too! Loved it! Shall stop by for more!:)
LOL, Mayuri 😀 It’s simple! Just look for the slang meaning 😉
Hahaha .. probably ‘He’ should look up the meaning!
Why do you say so, Lata? I think, he knows it! 😀
Looking at her confused state, I doubt the home run 😛 Nicely done, Shilpa 😉
*Shantala @ ShanayaTales*
I like the way you think, Shantala 😀
Dejavu!! Been there, felt that!! Short and sweet 😛
Aha! That’s interesting! 🙂
Ha ha! Fun! We all do that..Nod first and check out the meaning later. Fun one Shilpa 🙂
Oh yeah! We do that all the time. Thankfully we have smartphones in our hand, so that search/check can be instant! Glad you enjoyed it, Parul 🙂
Oops I hope he was talking about baseball. Not very gentleman-ly to take advantage of the girl’s confusion 😛
Of course, he was talking about baseball, Prasanna. What did you think? LOL 😀 Kidding!! You are on the right track, sweetie 😉
Lol 😛
And now she’ll be shocked when she realizes what he meant 😉
Hmm… high probability of that to happen 🙂
Oh poor girl ! I hope she withstood the shock of the event 😀
Great narration and excellent way to portray the emotion.
Hope so 😀
I am liking the empathy towards the girl from most of us 🙂
Uhmm!
I had to read all the comments to clear out my confusion! And in this confused state, I guess, I realized (naughty Grin).
Glad that you got it, Ajay 🙂
Men never get the hint, do they? And to top it they know how to confuse a woman! cute!!
hahahah ! Shubhangi !!
If only the woman was not so ignorant 😀
Ha, ha. Is she less confused now, I wonder. 😉
It’s more than 20 hours since this happened (the post got live, I mean 😀 ), so I am sure all her doubts must have been cleared by now 😉
Cheeky man. Let’s hope she twigged to it quickly enough when he started at first base. Shilpa you are the queen of drabble.
Hope so, Suzy! But you think, they should not hit the home run? 😉
Thks for the kind words, Suzy 🙂
Naughty confusion 🙂 The games we play!!!
😀
LOL! I was confused too.. 😀 But that wicked guy!
Wicked, he is 😀
Let’s hope he walked the bases instead of running them 😉
You can find me at:

Hope so 😀
Love this!
Thanks Melanie 🙂
Ok, now who will explain this to me. ❓
Google the God 😀
Hahaha! I see a grihshobha “hai main sharam se laal huyi” moment afterwards! 😛
Hahaha, Kadambari! That expression is so apt 😀 and reading it after such a looooong time! Does this column still appears in Grihshobha?
😀 I have no idea! Haven’t laid eyes on this magazine for almost 2 decades!
🙂 LOL! Now will she regret not looking that up now rather than later! ;P
Nice one!

Oh dear, I can sympathise!
😀 😀
Well, for sure he wasn’t talking about baseball! 😉
LOL 😀 you think so too!?! 😀
I think looking it up later might be after the horse has bolted 😉

Can you come back again..Err 😯
I loved that expression, Sri 😀
Life can be so sweet and simple!! Loved it.
Thks Ruchi!
Cool. Having lived in USA for a long time, I know the meaning. Did you guys reach the home base or not?
Aha! That’s nice and you mean ‘those’ guys!?! 😀
Yes yes 😀 definitely confused with this one SG. 😛
Confusion is sometimes a blissful state of mind… 🙂
Nicely done!

And wait till I Google to understand them 😛

LOL. That was a good one 😉
Now I am confused…. ❓
Hmm…wonder if she got hold of the meaning in time!!!!
