Adolescence

11:59 am Megan Bayliss

On our way to heaven (the ice cream shop), we had to pass many purgatory paddocks of farming gone bad. As though the market crashing wasn’t enough, wildlife had finished the crops off. In an act of total anarchy and inertia, the lazy wildlife was lying around the paddock, having a nice little sun bake.

“Flat out like a lizard drinking and life of a dog. Where do these euphemisms come from? I’m so old, I just want to make like a kangaroo and hop straight into bed! Not to be euthanized but to be euphemised. Get it, kiddo? Wanna make like a kangaroo?”

“Grandma,” my adorable little Pixie stated with that look on her face. “You’re weird. I don’t know what you are talking about.”

Ummm. Maybe we wouldn’t be visiting heaven on that particular day. Maybe, Pixie was in one of her pre pubescent moods and was going to dumbly question every intelligent thing I said and did. She clearly didn’t appreciate that a euphemism is a polite way to restate a rude or socially offensive concept.

Young people these days, they are so egocentric and lazy. All they do is hop from shop to shop and sleep. From now on I’m going to refer to them as kangaroos.

Very creative twist and take on things. It's always neat to see what everyone comes up with on these prompts!

Haven't been doing them lately. Hmmm... maybe I'll do one today. But it not, soon! (I have been writing though!)

Omg I Finally Got Helped  !! I'm so excited right now, I just have to share my testimony on this Forum.. The feeling of being loved takes away so much burden from our shoulders. I had all this but I made a big mistake when I cheated on my wife with another woman  and my wife left me for over 4 months after she found out..  I was lonely, sad and devastated. Luckily I was directed to a very powerful spell caster Dr Emu who helped me cast a spell of reconciliation on our Relationship and he brought back my wife and now she loves me far more than ever.. I'm so happy with life now. Thank you so much Dr Emu, kindly Contact  Dr Emu Today and get any kind of help you want.. Via Email emutemple@gmail.com or Call/WhatsApp +2347012841542
