Have had a horrible cold and fallen a bit behind now - not that it matters really of course!
Prompt 5 is all about having a bit of fun and filling in the blanks. I'd never heard of Mad-Libs until Shimelle mentioned them. I had a quick play around on the website to get used to the idea and then decided to do a halloween version then of course roll on cold, feeling bleh, not wanting to do anything blah-dy, blah-dy, blah, so I've now updated to a firework version - hurray! Mum was looking after Holly for me yesterday evening as I had a meeting to go to, so I sent them a couple of blank versions and here are the results - hope you enjoy them as much as I did.....
Mum's version:-
Tonight's The Night - The Story of a Firework.
My name is Twinkle and I am a sparkler. I get excited on 5th November because it's what I was created for. When someone sets fire to my head I come alive and live up to my name. I twinkle and fizz and it feels amazing; I'm the centre of attention, the children love me because I'm not a noisy banger.
Holly's version:-
Explosions - The Story of a Firework.
My name is Holly and I am a small little Catherine wheel. I enjoy 5th November because I hang up high where everyone can see me go poof, poof, poof. When someone sets fire to my buttusmaximus I shriek with excitement and it feels fantastic!
Buttusmaximus????? What is this child learning at school?! Please feel free to add your own version - promise not to be shocked at any words you might make up!
Love both of these. Love your mum's descriptions and erm .... yeah, what are they teaching our children. But in her defence, it could have been so much worse!!
