Halloween Horror

Halloween horror

Sally hides sweet candy under table
(Since sweet candy makes teeth decay)


Mummy angry...
Finds trick treat candy boxes empty
Jelly beans, fruit salad, black jacks  - whole stash eaten!

Sally looks awful..
Tummy aches
Sally spews vomit
Nasty vomit shows candy


Daddy cross 
Mummy livid...
Early night Sally!
Sulky Sally cries



A little laughter five contest

Lin Lane Date: 2/20/2018 4:22:00 PM I am SO glad I wasn't eating anything while reading this, Jan. lol So I get that you were allowed to use only 5-letter words. What I don't get is that you have candy called fruit salad and black jacks? What are they?

We weren't allowed sweets. I was about 3.. I took some black jacks and fruit salad They were sold lose 8 for 1 penny back then... and I climbed under the dining room table and ate them ... what gave me away was leaving the wrappers... my mum looked at me and I burst into tears (wasn't sick) I still adore those sweets along with real lion's midget gems :-) hugs Jan xx
