Cat and Tate have discovered Mad Libs, a fill in the blank exercise that asks you to insert an adjective, verb, adverb, etc. into key points in a short story. Most car trips these days are punctuated with “VERB ending in ing” or “Adjective.”
To my utter dismay, many of the responses seem to revolve around bodily functions and potty humor. Despite years of education, it was only yesterday that I learned “farty” is considered an adjective in the world of 6 and 7 year olds.
So I was both curious and ready to head off more colorful language when I overheard Cat ask Tate for an adjective to describe Mom.
Tate thought for a minute and then said, “Squishy. With a hint of lavender.”
That made me laugh out loud. Thanks, Tanya! It was the ever-so-creative “hint of lavender” that did it.
I remember many wonderful hours of laughter from Mad Libs when I was growing up.
