This weekend the Trifecta Writing Challenge involves Three Uses of the Knife by David Mamet as saying:
You take a knife, you use it to cut the bread, so you’ll have strength to work; you use it to shave, so you’ll look nice for your lover; on discovering her with another, you use it to cut out her lying heart.
He uses one object, a knife, to flesh out a character and to tell a story in a basic three-part dramatic structure. We want the same from you. Give us 33 words (exactly) that tell us three different uses for one object

Very cute and a novel take on the prompt.
I’ve re-read this several times now and it gets better and better. Clever and funny.
Oh I’m so glad! You wouldn’t think so but I spent a lot of time one it! HA!
So glad you liked it Lumdog! 😀
I need to save your blog for rainy days. Days when it’s raining in my heart and I need an instant uplift. Yes. I should save you for those kind of days.
Yes Yes Yes.
Ha ha ha! Marie! You write the best comments! 😀
Ah, you never fail to tickle the funny bones. 🙂
Ah! Thank you so much Imelda! 😀
Enjoyed this.
So glad Ruby! 😀
This was cute.
Why thank you Sam! And thanks for taking the time to come by! 😀
go Spot!
Go go go! 😀
Hahahaha – as the owner of two dogs this sent me into stitches! Brilliant 😀
Oh thanks so much Dianne! Two dogs! I only have one little one but sometimes she seems like two! 😀
Mine are big and lumbering – when they play they can knock over furniture!
haha, i like this version of see spot run much more than the original
Ha! So glad you liked it. I think it is a little more true to life this way! 😀
What a cute take on the prompt. I like your Spot pic, too!
Ah thanks Sandra. I liked that picture. I may have to use it as my desktop wallpaper for awhile anyway! 😀 Thanks for coming by!
3rd definition scary !!! Diane
Ha ha Diane! That says it all! 😀
And the mailman sees Spot and run, run, runs ? 🙂
Cute story!
Ah yes! The running is interchangeable I have a feeling! 😀
Ha ha! Go Spot. Go. Dick and Jane have nothing on you, Linda. Great job with the prompt.
Thanks so much Trifecta! I must admit twas a fun one! 😀
Love Spot! He can’t help himself!
Haha! So true Gina, and he’s loving every minute of it! 😀
Oh dear. I fear the next spot will be bloody.
Ba Ba BA BOOM!
Hah! Such is a dogs life!

It certainly is and I don’t think they would want it any other way. Thanks for leaving your link. I’ll check it out!
That Spot gets around.
Did no one yell “Out out, damn Spot?”
No but they will now! 😀
I love this! You are always so clever it hurts my brain to think how you come up with these.
Ah thanks honey! I don’t know why but these words just hit the spot! 😀
No wonder I could never finish that Spot book in kindergarten– it just went on and on… : P
Brilliant. Spot on, you might say… : )
P.S. FWIW: Trifecta shoulda credited Leadbelly: http://bit.ly/Pso3Rf
Haha Mark! Well at least you learned to read (a total of four words anyway).
Oh and good eye on the credit. Huddie Ledbetter said that in one of his songs I’m presuming. I love the name Huddie Ledbetter, shoot I could have used it in the story somewhere! Darn! That makes me want to cut out my heart! (just figuratively though) 😀
