Peals of laughter rolled across the yard and through the living room window. They were playing tag.
“I should be it first. I can catch all of them,” he muttered.
A little girl shrieked. “I coulda caught her.”
“Aww!” The disappointment in the boy’s word was overcome by excitement in his voice.
“Little brother got caught.” He put his arm over his head to see his watch.
Before he could focus on it, Mom said, “Three more minutes before you can get your nose out of the corner.”

Did your parents believe in the corner or was it one of your teachers? Were you a tag player? Who was the best it?

/ November 11, 2012I had a teacher that put you in the corner with blocks under your feet to keep your heels up. Corner’s weren’t big at mother’s or my grandparents. My grandmother was firm believer in the old fashioned arse whooping.

Ouch for the switch. Sounds familiar…but it was father, not mother whose suggestion was ‘switch’. Ouch!
Like this take on a game of tag.

/ November 13, 2012I needed to do at least one which was childlike. I have the suspense close to sewn up. Darkness. I have it by the truckload. It was time for something lighter. 😉 Somewhere along the way, I need to do one which is childish.

/ November 15, 2012I know my children think I am the meanest Momma ever. (Nope, no shame.) If you are talking about “dance”, I can see a million things. Think of Papoe dancing in the closet while you were looking for him!
Novroz
/ November 17, 2012Hahaha…all moms are mean sometimes 😉
Not just dance…I always write my flash not in order, meaning whichever comes in mind first.
Fortunately, I just got one 😉
