Can You Tell A Story In…

It’s almost Friday, and that means five-word story time. Your new word this week is:

OPERATION

So can you tell a story in five words using the word OPERATION in it somewhere?

Your word last week was SHAVE. Here are your SHAVE stories:

Ruth Scribbles:

Trent’s World:

Shaved a minute off, but…

Shave and a haircut: two-cents.

Lance Greenfield:
