Carbon Dating - Writing Challenge Piece

How he laughed when we talked about carbon dating and the dinosaurs!  A great, booming "Ha!"  He had proof, he said.  Scholars studied the bible. 

The world was 6,000 years old to my father.

This week's Trifecta Weekend Challenge went like this:  This weekend's challenge is to give us a story or snippet of a story which includes, in exactly 33 words, a justified exclamation point.  Make us believe that your exclamation point simply needs to be in your story.  The writer with the most believable exclamation wins.

Can you justify your exclamation?  Link up here.

  4. I like the hearty sound of "How he laughed!" The combination of "how" and an exclamation point supplants the need for italics. As always, well done.

  5. I like this because in a few words you show how you love your father even though you disagree with him.

  6. Thanks for linking up with Trifecta. Dinosaur talk, I can handle. It's when the conversation turns to "So, what, I'm just a monkey?" that my exclamations come out. Nicely done. Hope to see you back on Monday.
