Oceans, Squirrels, and Darning Baskets, a Freewrite

"This darn basket won't stand up!!"

*"It's a basket that is meant to be hung, dear"*

"I need it to stand up!"

*"Here, hang it on this hook."*

"That's too far! I can't reach it!"

*"Let me help you move your chair closer."*

"Then I can't get a clear shot on the squirrels at the bird feeder!"

*"Let the squirrels eat the birdseed for a bit. You will get some socks mended."*

"You only care about your feet! Your feet will be fine if I don't darn them!"

*"You want to darn my feet?"* 

"Darn right I do! You are making me a basket case!!"

This is my entry to @mariannewest's daily [freewrite challenge](https://peakd.com/hive-161155/@mariannewest/day-1346-5-minute-freewrite-monday-prompt-darning-basket). Today's prompt is ***darning basket***. 

I seem to be on one of my freewrite rolls. Freewriting is a lovely way to start a day. Come join us!!! 

@jerrytsuseer provided some [inspiration](https://peakd.com/hive-127788/@jerrytsuseer/the-war-of-the-squirrels-goes-chemical) for this freewrite. 

This is also an entry to @improv's Punday Monday contest that hasn't been announced yet. I hope it's a slam dunk (see what I did there?) for his prompt this week, because it sure has nothing to do with last's week's prompt, ***ocean***.

So weird, I almost didn't publish it, it was so simple, and seemed inane. But here it is, working. I could have used #themostdangerouswritingapp for this one, it came out so easily. Thanks for stopping in!

It's a pleasure! 
Sometimes the simple things that we might think are crazy and not appealing are oftentimes very appealing to others. That is kind of strange right? 
PS. I'm posting again :)
