Word Shot – 15 December, 2008
Congratulations to those of you who qualified to receive my three e-manuals as a prize for having participated in 10 Word Shots!
Here’s this week’s photo:
You could take this one in any number of directions. Look at it. Think about it. Where will you go with it? Remember, you can submit a phrase, a paragraph, an entire story or just a word. It’s up to you.
When you’re ready to participate in this Word Shot, simply submit your commentary on the photo as a comment to this post. And don’t forget to check out others’ submissions for this Word Shot in the coming week. Please remember, this exercise is for all of us, and the purpose is to help up hone our writing skills.
Also, let me know when you have participated in 10 Word Shots by e-mailing me. I send you, via e-mail, all three of my e-manuals.
By the way, if you haven’t taken the time to read the entries for last week’s Word Shot, please do. Several were very nice. Thank you all for participating, and I hope you take another crack at today’s Word Shot.
Good luck and write something remarkable for this one!
Little Michelle was less than optimistic about having brussel sprouts with dinner. It was as though those little green veggies had backed her into a corner, from which there was no escape.
I don’t need a mirror in the trial room I just have to look at my daughter’s face. The best part She is always right
I hope you think that putting me in this corner will in any way make me feel bad. I did what I did and I won’t take it back or say I’m sorry. It’s not my fault that my big brother is from another planet. I know my real brother was stolen and this thing put in his place. I watch TV I know what is going on.He picks on me and now I am going to fight back. I’m all grown up and not afraid of anything, not even punishment. he deserved it, so there. beat me, send me to bed without supper. I can take it. I am glad do you hear? Glad glad glad. One little fib. Just one little thing and you people act like I did something bad. Well it was not bad. I never lie. How was I supposed to know that school glue would mess up his cell phone? Honest I didn’t know. Okay, so I did know but now he will be sorry he ate all the cookies before I got home.
You’re the Supernanny, huh? What else ya got for me besides this stinkn’ time out routine?
“No, No!” Lucy said.
“But honey, you know how upset she’ll be.” Mom tried to placate her obstinate child.
“I. Don’t. Care. I’m not doing it.”
“Lucy. I’m getting angry now.” Mom crossed her arms, mirroring her daughter’s pose.
Lucy’s face scrunched a little more. “I won’t! I won’t! I won’t!”
“For crying out loud child! You’re being silly now.”
Lucy screamed at her mother. “I’m not being silly. Nanny’s lips are all wet and sloppy, I’m not letting her kiss me!”
The top 4 are great. I almost can’t stop laughing and nearly spit out my food to the supernanny remark. LOL.
I look at this pic, and only one thing comes to mind:
“Let’s get ready to rumble!!!!!” (ala Michael Buffer)
I’ve never liked that dress. I told you I wouldn’t wear it. And I won’t! You can’t make me either. Even if it means I have to go to pre-school in my pyjamas.
I’ll never kiss my cousin, ’cause he’s a boy.
Whoever came up with the saying, “Kids should be seen and not heard”, really sucks!
“Eat your supper, Malinda!” yelled Mom.
“No mom! I don’t like arsenic-flavored spaghetti!”
“Well, you better eat it or else you’re going to stay in that corner for a long time, missy!”
“Well, it’s better than dieing! So fine!”
“Okay, well you don’t get dessert then!”
“I don’t want it anyway! You put rat poison in it! That’s how dad died!”
“Fine, stay there in that corner until you’re ready to behave, Malinda!”
The Branson family had a lot of problems.
Gwendolyn couldn’t hide her reaction to this this evening’s menu. Nor could Grandmother hide her reaction to Gwendolyn’s reaction. In Grandmother’s Day, they ate what was given them, and they liked it. In grandmother’s day, they baked potatoes in the oven, and held them in their hands as they walked two miles to school. They had no gloves. When It was time for lunch, they ate the potato. Children were starving in every God-forsaken corner of the world, as you know, and to turn down food of any variety was , without exception, unacceptable. Of course Today’s veritable smorgasbord of acceptable defied everything that was sacred.
Gwendolyn, stomping, and kicking announces, ” Creamed Onions taste like vampire eyeballs! And they smell like someone’s butt! I want Macaroni and Cheese!”
Grandmother’s Hairy Eyebrow cliff rises and falls. Her Rosacea covered jowls raise up to her own vampire eyeballs, and her belt, tucked succinctly under her breasts rises and falls with her amusement.
Gwendolyn is scooped up, as only a Grandmother can scoop, and Grandmother announces, “Who want’s to Go to Friendly’s? I hear they have delicious Ice cream Sundaes topped with creamed Vampire Eyeballs!
