Today I'd like to introduce you to the inaugural edition of a game I call "Swimming Telephone." I've got a fun group of blogging friends lined up to help me create a humorous story. For more details click here. Without further ado I present to you an homage to Lemony Snicket, my version of a...
Bad Beginning
It started like any other morning. You know; having a flashlight shined in your eyes at 5:30 a.m. like a criminal being interrogated. The warden was in my cell telling me it was time to get up. This definitely counts as cruel and unusual punishment.
Within five minutes of being downstairs little girl had already thrown a temper tantrum, emptied the extra large box of crayons onto the floor, and dismantled my printer to hijack my last few sheets of white paper. This was too much excitement before my morning caffeine.
Trying to avoid a trip to the emergency room I tiptoed around the crayons making it to my extra large cup and my coffee in time to hear the other kids stampeding downstairs demanding breakfast. After setting them up with some plates, eggs, and forks I looked at my offspring in wonder. How can so many little people have a such a hard time sitting right and holding utensils?
That is when Husband informed me he would be working late tonight.
I looked at the clock. It was only 6:30 a.m. Defeated, I trudged upstairs to brush my teeth. Suddenly, my mommy sense was tingling. I heard loud squeals of laughter. I knew whatever was waiting downstairs was no good and I did not feel ready to face it.
The morning was going downhill.
Nicole at Ninja Mom is up next. Can she save the day?
Tune in next time on the Swimming Telephone!
Please take a minute to click on the link below. I'll tell people you're really cool!
Phew! I was afraid you were going to say you dropped your cell phone in the pool. What a fun idea! It's 9 here and yes, the white paper has been hijacked from the printer and replace the crayons with Star Wars action figures. Great post!!
ReplyDeleteReplace Star Wars action figures with Legos and you've got what covers my floors most mornings. Crayons are actually a welcome surprise.
DeleteThis is going to be fun. Should we be feeling any pressure about doing the last installment of the story? I'm thinking the end should be something like the end of The Sixth Sense combined with the end of The Usual Suspects combined with the end of Star Wars.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for something as climatic as the one ring being thrown into the Crack of Doom in Mordor. That's not asking too much, is it?
DeleteHooray! It's time for Swimming Telephone!!!! Exclamation point!
ReplyDeleteHooray indeed!
DeleteI smell greatness, excitement and yes, danger, at every turn. Fun...with a capital F! xo
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I'm wondering if I should have made danger in every installment a requirement!?!
DeleteI'm sorry I didn't repsond yesterday but KIDS. I'm so ready to continue the story, momma. This is the funnest thing I've done in a long while. Thanls for letting me play along.
ReplyDeleteKids are so needy, like how they want food 3 times a day, and clean clothes for their body, and how they want you to pay attention to them. Sheesh!
DeleteWelcome aboard. I hope you can save the day.
This. Is gonna be fun. Love the start of the story and can't wait to read more!
ReplyDeleteI think with the group we have this is going to be a laugh. Thanks for helping out!
