What Are You Doing

A mouse stole my fluffy blue slipper this morning and wore it all over the kitchen In an arrogant teasing “ha ha” way. I was so mad! I ran after him at first, But I am getting fat And old and I am tired of chasing After my slipper every HUCKING morning. So I stopped and threw Magazines, and a pizza pie, and a banana at my slipper. What are you doing? My husband asked, Because he is weirdly “normal”. So I threw the lamp that was supposed to crush the mouse at his head. Used to this totally, he caught it in mid-air DRAM it!

I thought it was fun, and knowing Nina's KEEN sense of humor, it had to be something OUTRAGEOUS, to get her to laugh. She says that she did....

Thank you Carolyn. Happy Christmas holidays to you also! We get out of school this Friday and do not return until Jan 7th. The children do not return until the 8th, so I do worry about that a bit. After ruling their homes, we have to re-introduce them as children all over again.

Thank you Line. I sent Nina a little note and said DO NOT READ MY POEMS this week! She replied swiftly saying it was an unusual request, as usually people are asking her to read their poems.

Thank you Jan. I am so proud of this one, as I worked hard, trying to figure out what would make someone who laughs all the time like Nina actually LAUGH?

I had to try to be pretty funny, as this is the FUNNY lady's contest. Have you met her?
