Asa was happy to get Mondays off from the shooting gallery to babysit his grandkids
Mother Nature needed a day off
All natural ingredients, but Lulu's haircare products were still a disappointment
Esther was well pleased with her circle of friends

For Your Funny Bone . . .
For your Edification
Letters of the Alphabet
Put together make a word
Amazing . . . we were taught this
But in these days, it’s absurd
Now youngsters get just lazy
They say what is for T
It has an E and A with it
Now it’s annoying me
Like Tx’s ... why not just say Thanks
I.L.Y ...yes I know (I love you)
I’m M.M.O.B ... (Minding my own business)
As I watch the daisies grow.
Now 55555 I did not know
Was crying your eyes out
Apparently, it’s Mandarin style
Well what’s that all about
I’m L.M.B.A.O. (Laughing my bloody arse off)
I’m hoping I’m making you smile
I’ll B.B.S or B.R.B (Be back soon. Be right back)
Or be back in a while
Oh B.T.W. . . I’ll C.U.S (By the way . . . See you soon )
Let’s have a 1.2.1. (One to one)
It’s great A.F.A.I.K. (As far as I know)
T.B.H . . . this is fun. (To be honest)
Now you can A.M.A (Ask me anything)
Or google if you don’t know
F.W.I.W. . . . we’ll sort it out (For what it’s worth)
Or just go with flow.
Some words are hard to write down
So, we write the dreaded C
We all know what the meaning is
And sympathise with thee
I do dislike the F word
Said or written down
But I’m in the minoring
So, I’ll close my ears and frown.
I said it once in front of Dad
The worse thing I could do
So always brings back memories
But I bet Dad used it too.
Now I’ve put all this together
It’s been a lot of fun
It’s L.O.L. Or Lots of love (Laugh out loud)
Y.W. Everyone. (Your welcome)
OXOX .... apparently means hugs & kisses.

There was always plenty of blame over who led who into the stinging nettles
Magda was confident the co-op board would approve of her shoes
Believing that "I'm sorry” was a good pickup line, May swam right into Ted on purpose
Maisie was a world class mold whisperer

The Goldilocks home invasion left Baby Bear with significant trauma.
The whole family doted on Dorothy Grace.
Nan was wary of the new house special: Tick Tacos.
Poor little Wilson had had a dream about a cat.
First it was plastic in the ocean. Now selfies and graffiti in outer space.
