Ink About It - A stamp and craft supply store spotted by Ethan & Gary C. in Westford, MA.

It was a cold December afternoon in New England. Traffic was moving at a brisk pace. Everyone was hurrying to get home to their families before the pre-Christmas traffic set in. My Dad and I included.

“And I don’t think Tom Brady can…

My eyes widened.

…TURN RIGHT!!!!”

My father jerked the wheel to the right and slammed on the brakes. We skittered to a stop in an empty parking lot. Dad looked at me, furious at the surprise and concerned about our safety.

“What? What is it? Are you okay?”

“There. It’s a pun!”

“What do you mean? I don’t understand.”

“Ink about it.”

“I don’t…what is it?”

“Just. Ink. About It.”

Recognition flashed over my father’s face. Then a scowl. The car lurched into gear.

“Next time, be a little less crafty before telling me to stamp on the brakes.”
