Tuesday,October 21- Deja Vu
Who Are You?
The old man looked extremely familiar to
Caroline as she continued to stare. She was at Whole Foods grocery shopping
when she had stopped to cart when she saw the old man. He had silver grey hair
and green eyes. Something about him was so familiar. It was frustrating
Caroline couldn’t remember what or who. It wasn’t her grandparents… Maybe she
had seen him in a movie. Caroline and the old man made awkward eye contact
given Caroline had been staring at the man for a solid five minutes. Caroline
looked down and walked away. Who did that man remind her of? It was driving
Caroline crazy. He was definitely a stranger; Caroline did not know him in
anyway. When Caroline got home she described the man to her mother and asked if
he was familiar. Caroline’s mom simply said he seemed like any old man.
Caroline’s mom told her she was probably experiencing déjà vu. This seemed to
happen to Caroline often. She was tired of her mind playing tricks on her…or
maybe that old man really did remind her of someone. Who could it be?

Thursday, Octorber 16- Rain
Rain
I love rain. I love to stay at home, relaxed, with a warm cup of
coffee and a movie listening to the pitter patter of rain drops falling from
the sky. The best time for it to rain is at night. Thunderstorms bring the most
soothing sound despite their angry front. The sound of the rain drops hitting
the roof and the ground is what I would prefer to fall asleep to every night. I
actually like the way rain looks as its falling. However, I hate the mud and
the nasty smell it leaves. So no, I do not love everything about rain but, it is one of my favorite things.

Wednesday, October 15- I remember when...
What happened to the children?
I remember when children were not so dependent on technology
There was a time when children drew,
used their imagination
There was a time a car ride did not require a tablet
When boredom could be solved with a board game
When children would play outside until they could no longer see
They get the technology obsession from their examples......
Did you know children used to read?
Not the directions in a game
Not off of a screen
They read off of pages!
I remember that time........

Friday, October 10- Pet Peeve
PET PEEVE
I hate to hear people chewing their food or scraping their utensils on their teeth/ plate while they are eating. It is disgusting and I have to leave the room. I get very angry. The sound is the nastiest thing I have ever heard. So please, eat politely. and quietly.

Tuesday, October 7- The Flip Side
Removed
Them: That girl is not responsible
She's only fifteen
How can we trust her with children?
The girl is just a teen
She doesn't care about the children or the church
So she is no longer invited
to take part in teaching our children
Let's relieve her of her position
I bet she is excited
Me: Oh how I care for the kids I teach
I don't want to go
The parents are infuriated
The church's decision is causing a show
No, I'm not eighteen
but does that really matter?
My class on Sunday never even caused a clatter
Now I have to leave my kids that I teach
I am far from excited
The very people who encouraged me to serve
proclaimed me uninvited

Thursday, October 2- The Frog Prince
The Witch and The Frog Prince
One day a prince was walking along the bank of a river when he stumbled across a beautiful girl who was so beautiful she had to be a princess. She had black hair and pale skin with piercing blue eyes. She kept throwing a golden ball in the air. All of the sudden the ball slipped out of her hand and rolled toward the prince. He picked it up and quickly devised a plan. "Is this your ball princess?" he asked. The girl looked at him and said, "Yes, thank you for retrieving it for me." She held out a hand but he did not give back the golden ball. The prince saw she was confused and smiled as he said, "If you want your ball back, you must promise to marry me. I have been searching for a princess like you." The girl tried to snatch the ball from him but he held it back. So, she agreed to marry him. They went back to his castle and on that day they had their wedding. "You may kiss your bride!" The priest says to the prince. The prince and the girl kissed. The prince fell to the ground. His skin turned green and his hands became webbed. His body shrunk until the prince was no longer there; only a nasty green frog was left. The girl retrieved the golden ball from the pocket of his coat which was now discarded on the ground. "I am not in fact a princess, I am a witch," she looked at the prince with her icy blue eyes, "You should really stop assuming things. Now, because you refused to give my golden ball back to me I have cursed you with my kiss. The curse can only be reversed if you convince another girl to marry you . Have a great new life." The witch threw her golden ball in the air and disappeared with a flash. The slimy green frog prince hopped off, terrified.
