Creative Writing - Prompt Me Please

Conversation at the breakfast table this morning...

Jayce sees a pencil on the table that is well used and is only about an inch long. Since it is so tiny, Jayce asked "is that pencil young?". He was thinking pencils start out that small when they are young and then they get bigger as they age, just like people!

That has nothing to do with my post for the day, I just thought I'd share the funnies. And just what is my post for the day?...I don't really know, writer's block I guess, sooo..I went to a creative writing prompt site to get some ideas.

#1 ~ What would you say to an uninvited guest?

Well, I guess that would depend on their age. If this person was a child or and elderly person, I would politely let them know the event is by invitation only. Unless it was some it was some bratty kids that just didn't care...then I'd just threaten them to leave now. Now if it was someone I didn't like that decided to show up and crash the event..well now, that's a whole different story, I would not have any problems telling them where to go and how to get there..unless of course they were tough enough to kick my butt, then I would just get my bodyguard aka husband to kick them out.

#2 ~ Write about how you felt when you discovered you were lied to.

You wanna piss me off, then lie to me. I CAN'T STAND to be lied to. How hard is it to tell the damn truth. Say what's on your mind instead of trying to hide stuff or be fake and false in your demeanor because you don't want me to know how you really feel or what you may have done. Honesty is better than being lied to any day, even if the truth is gonna hurt, it won't be as bad as being lied to.

#3 ~ List 10 things you normally do on a rainy day.

*Read
*Watch movies
*Nap
*Drink something warm, like hot cocoa (only during winter rains of course)
*If it's rainy in the summer..take the quads out in the desert and play in the mud
*Watch the rain
*Browse on the computer
*Scrapbook
*Feel like I'm grounded since it's not too good outside
*Have a comfy pajama day

  3. Lying is the worst. However, my husband and I are both the tyoe that are brutally honest, which can also be harsh.

  4. Lying is so bad. I hate when people do that. Some people, I think, just don't know how to NOT lie. Cute about the pencil!! :)

  5. I had an uninvited guest show up to a baby shower I was hosting and had catered at my house. she literally called the night before and said "I know my mom isnt' invited, but she's coming anyway". I didn't have the space, I didn't have a party favor, and I didn't have food accounted for her as it was catered. It was so awkward, I just let them know I was uncomfortable with it, but they were long time friends w/ /the honoree, what a disaster!
