Today is Sloth. Laziness and indifference..
Seven Deadly Sins: Sloth
The mental to-do list was as long as her arm, but the sunshine was warm on her body. A clean rag hung over her face, deflecting the strongest of the rays. The hammock supporting her slim frame swayed in the wind.
The dwarves had heigh-hoe’d off to work earlier this morning, and left the house in a right state. The dishes were stacked a foot high, last night’s dinner cold on the stove. The washing was in a messy pile, the broom collecting dust in the corner.
Her eyes slowly drooped closed.
“Not today,” Snow White muttered. “Can’t be arsed.”
HAHAHHAAHA love this. If Snow White lived today she would so be like this!
Ha ha, genius! Also, I really wish I could be slothful in the same way instead of cleaning my apartment before moving out tomorrow!!
When Snow White stops whistling.
Love it.

Oh I love this so much, this is my kind of Snow White – much more sympathetic from where I’m standing. Great twist – laughed out loud and I only guessed where it was going right at the end.
Love it.
Hehe. Cute. And a HAMMOCK? I’m in! Lovely piece on sloth. It was a real pleasure following your work this week and meeting you through the challenge.
Best-
One day of the kind of work she did should buy her two free. My opinion.
That’s a lot of work to take care of 7 peeps all the time… she should retire if you ask me
Haha, absolute genius!
