If there’s any truth to this then I must have the healthiest brain known to man!
Ok, on Thursday I was invited to participate in the 5 photos in 5 days Challenge; many thanks to Dorne over at dorneawhale wordpress for the invite. You should go over and check her out. She’s and awesome writer.
The rules are simple:
1) Post a photo each day for five consecutive days.
2) Include a story which can be fiction, non-fiction, poetry, prose or a short paragraph. It’s entirely up to you.
3) Nominate another blogger to pick up the torch and carry out the same mission – if he or she so chooses.
and here is my first of 5: (and a silly little dilly to go with it)
Hello honey, come in and have a seat
Let me fix you a big ole plate of alligator meat.
Now if you’d rather not, we got boiled crawfish in the back.
You can pinch the tails and suck the heads if for that you got the knack.
Oh you got a bigger hunger
want some shrimp and peas and beans?
You better pull your tee shirt out
And unbutton them there blue jeans!
And I officially nominate…. my new blog friend Twinkle Spark.
Ok… so last night we went into a WalMart Super Center we’d never been in before. Oh my goodness… we were tempted to walk back outside to look at the building signs to be sure it was actually a WalMart. Now before we share the strangeness of our visit, let me set the stage: 1- it was a Friday night and 2- it was after 11 p.m.
So here’s what we experienced/were exposed to:
1. There were so many people in there it seemed like an after Christmas sale day.
2. It was so noisy the building had a constant hum going on.
3. Most of the people in the store were between the ages of 4 and 18.
4. Approximately half of the occupants were wearing socks- mismatched socks- without the benefit of shoes to cover them.
5. The attire for the evening, among the male and female patrons, demonstrated a dire need for the purchase and distribution of belts and clothing (in general) made of larger pieces of fabric.
6. When we approached and asked a young lady (who was wearing an employee name tag) for assistance in locating an iron, we were told, and I quote “they over there somewhere with the ironing boards”.
7. The electric wheelchairs should have had signs attached saying “For Entertainment Purposes Only” because they were being used by young people as scooters or bicycles or something
…coming soon to a WalMart near you…lol
