Writers Workshop



The Prompts:

1.) If you were starring on American Idol TONIGHT and HAD to sing, what song would you choose and why.

2.) Take a picture of yourself right this minute without primping and explain to us why it is you have not washed your hair today.

3.) I just asked Pat to help me with a writing prompt so here's his: "What do you think about the NBA All Star game"...blech.

4.) What's your number one pet peeve? Develop a punishment for anyone caught in the act.

5.) Write about something mean you did to a sibling growing up.

Out of these, the easiest is number 5. My younger brother and I are 15 months apart. He did pretty much whatever I told him to do, up to a certain age. ;-) So one day we were shopping with my mom and grandmother at Park City mall in Lancaster PA. The food court and arcade...keep in mind I was like 11 or so and arcades were a big thing in the early 80's....were in the downstairs part of the mall. My mom would let us go to the arcade for a bit while she shopped. There was an escalator that went to the food court, so one day I basically "dared" my brother to go up the down escalator. He did, and got a bit banged up. Not horribly, but my mom wasn't too happy with me. :-)

  1. My older brother used to chase me up the down escalator. Luckily we never got hurt. Sorry your bro got scraped up.

  2. You missed out on all the fun of chasing him up!

    Older siblings have to make sure the youngsters don't get off easy. It is part of our job description. {*grin*}

  3. OH, poor guy...we used to do that all the time too.

  4. We used to do that for fun! But we'd always have to turn around when people got on it to come down. They spoiled our fun.
