Today’s post is interactive and NO it doesn’t have anything to do with the fact that I’ve been neglecting my poor blog and NO it’s not because I don’t have anything better to write and NO… ok. Want the truth? I could use a silly laugh today. Yesterday was not at all a fun day at work what with taking weapons from students, dealing with the fire department junior division for a suspected arsonist, and the major depression in several of my students (by the way, today is National Depression Screening Day so please send the ones you love for help).
Since I missed the de-lurk and some readers still emailed me such nice happy thoughts I figured I would do it bass-ackwards and come up with my own. I’m leaving two words to start you off and your comment today must be two OTHER words to finish the thought. When I update later, I will take the comments and re-edit this post. That’s it, folks. Two words. Dos palabras.
Hopefully, this will be really funny. If not, then I’ll reconsider my own idea of fun and it’s probably going to mostly consist of lighting my farts.
Ready? Here’s the first two words:
When my…
*Edited: Ok, so not funny all the time. The fart one was funny, but I loved Cyndi’s poem she made out of it.
When my mother died.
When my heart broke.
When my tears fell.
When my life changed.
When my mother died.
Her contribution brought two other words to mind: Staggeringly heartbreaking.

Its too early to do only a four word crafty funny sentence! Or am I still asleep & don’t understand the game? So how about…
When my water broke, the hospital thought I had just peed myself.

This doesn’t even make for a complete sentence!!!! I am a rule-breaker, Mocha.
When my students break wind, I have to struggle to maintain a prim face because I find it just as funny as they do.

In rules: Nope, cannot seem to do it, sorry!
Breaking rules: When my two year old mispronounces words—like f*ck for truck and fock for fork—I inwardly snicker and giggle like a seventh grader. And I don’t even feel like a perv or bad mom.

When my Mother died.
When my heart broke.

So many of these are great sentence starters! I could use them in my English classroom.
If I taught English anymore.
If I was in the classroom.

When my kids laugh is
When my tears stop and
When my burden lifts and
When my heart soars and
When my moods shift and
When my hope resurfaces.
When my kids laugh.

When my kids arrived
When my hands trembled
When my eyes closed
When my heart swelled
When my soul soared
When my spirit danced
When my husband smiled
When my kids gurgled
When my dreams appeared
When my world completed

When my plans didn’t include driving to Peoria I was ecstatic
When my plans change
When my wife changes her mind

When my life changed
When my heart shattered
When my self confidence disappeared
When my will weakened
When my belief in love died
When my resolve strengthened
When my car was packed
When my life changed again
When my downward spiral turned upwards
When my strength returned
When my children laughed on a daily (hourly?) basis again
When my desire to laugh returned
When my life became my own
When my secret job desires came to fruition
When my life became whole again

When my heart was in my throat,
When my baby was terrified,
When the stroller tipped over backward
When my baby hit the floor,
When my 2.5 year old broke his nose
When I blamed myself for not being quicker,
When my son screamed
When my adrenalin kicked in
