It is said that brevity is the soul of wit. There is, without a doubt, a time and place for long paragraphs filled with wondrous descriptions. Other times, however, less is more. What can you create from the prompt using only two sentences?

This time, the theme is:

Almond
 
The man signs as he strolls around in the supermarket, lifting his nose contemptuously at the sight of all those primitive ingrates hoarding the almonds into their bags frantically, harrumphing and moving onwards.

" Ugh, please, everyone knows that sardines are the best thing now."

There were no more almonds in the house for the dessert she had planned to make, and the wife knew exactly who to blame, her eyes swerving in the direction of her sheepish husband.

"Well," she started, voice calm even though her eyes were blazing, "why don't you go to the squirrel and beg him for a few almonds?!"

(based on a true story aka Mom and Dad :'D)

She looked at the tiny pile of almonds and frowned. "THIS is a serving?"
 
"Almond butter?" June stared at her mother with a horrified expression as the older woman proceeded to make an almond butter and pickle sandwich.
 
"This tastes like almonds," the man in the wifebeater grumped as he stared into his coffee with a sneer, sitting in front of the television.

Good, his wife thought as she powdered a bruised eye, it's working then.
