A Party Called Life

Bouncing off Sara Kendrick’s List:

The tap show on the kitchen floor.
Busy, wasn’t keeping score.
For the error to expunge.
Daughter’s friend, I handed a sponge.

A going away party - fun!
Ice cream sundaes, not in the sun.
Not a great idea indoors.
Kids started a food flight - a war.

The bedroom door knocked on and down.
My son must fix - send in the clowns.
My husband knocks later - it falls.
Fix failed with huge nails through the wall.

Oohoohoo! What a party. Good you could take it in good humor. I think I would have had a cow. A fun read Kim. God Bless, JB

Three separate incidents thankfully! First one was really humorous. I have run into this now grown up lady with kids of her own.

I enjoyed reading this one. It probably wasn't funny at the time but later you could laugh about it. I am glad that you were able to write one after reading my poem. It is good that I inspired you to tell about your life happening. Sara

Especially the ice cream party. There was so much more to that one but I shall keep that (now) humorous moment light. Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the inspiration!

Kids will do it every time. But they had a lot of fun--and isn't that the sweet purpose!

My husband started to get mad about the door. I told him we will laugh at this one day ;)
