Continuing Morgan and Logan’s journey as they cross the USA…
‘We’re as different as chalk and cheese.’
‘Wensleydale.’
‘Sorry?’
‘Wensleydale is a cheese that’s like chalk.’
‘But…’
‘Morgan, you need to improve your analogies. Avoid cliches. What are you trying to say?’
‘But Wensleydale…’
‘Drop the sodding cheese, Morgan. You’re trying to say we’re different, yes? Let’s start by how you see me.’
‘With my eyes, Logan?’
‘Morgan….’
‘Sorry. Smart, clever, sometimes cruel…’
‘I’d accept harsh but fair. You mean I’m educated. You?’
‘Me? Straightforward…’
‘Two-dimensional? What you see is what you get?’
‘I suppose.’
‘What about… as different as Einstein and an ironing-board…?’
‘I prefer cheese…’
This was written as part of this week’s #carrotranch prompt
May 28, 2020, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story using two words that contradict. Examples include champagne and hard-rock; rosemary and sewage; duck down and firecrackers; sleep and square-dancing. Use one of these or make up your own. Go where the prompt leads!
Made me smile again. Wensleydale and Einstein go perfectly together.

I like chalk and cheese, not having experienced Wensleydale.
