"Look at this! Soap to keep us afloat when we take our baths in the ocean."
"Yeah, and we won't have to scrub ourselves with sand any more."
140 characters pre-cisely, if I do say so myself.
Posted for Microfiction Monday, the writers' meme presented every week by Susan at Stony River. Here's how it works. On Sunday evening, or thereabouts, Susan posts a prompt in the form of a photo or a drawing, whereupon we, the intrepid writers, compose a story or poem inspired by the prompt, using only 140 characters including spaces and punctuation, 140 characters being the maximum length of a "tweet"! This is particularly helpful to people who have a terrible habit of overwriting, definitely one of my shortcomings, I must admit.

Sand scrub? Whatever floats their boats!
They might still want to scrub with sand - exfoliating, you know ;-)
Those boys are in serious trouble if they're scrubbing with sand!! I love it, Kay! Fun take on the pic of the day!! Hope you have a great week!

Ouch! Sand baths! Very good take on the picture. Enjoy your week :)
I didn't think sailors could swim.
I've never used sand to scrub my face. Glad I'm not stuck on an Island somewhere!
Good one Kay, it made me laugh and say "ouch"
Sand scrubs would be fine . . long as they don't leave sand in their bathers.
Not sure I'd like the sand scrub, but liked your words :-)

Ooh, washing with sand? Nasty!
That sand can get places where the sun don't shine... Glad they're rid of it.
