Our Mad Lib

Riley wants me to post this just in case we lose the paper:

School is out for summer and Riley is so bored she started biting her _nostril_.


Her sisters stayed busy _dancing_ and _eating_, but Riley just couldn't get excited about that.
She watched movies for _5_ minutes, until her mom shook her _squishy_ head and wagged her _fat_ finger and said, "This will turn you brain into _booger_!"


Riley plopped into a chair and let out a _skinny_ sigh.  Her mom kept drinking coffee and cleaned _25_ _recliners_, which she loves to do.  But Riley just didn't care for that.  "What can I do, Mom?!"


Her Mom's _eyeball_ lit up and she said, "I have a _stupid_ idea!" Let's build an _acorn_!" Riley was so excited that her _toenail_ was trembling and her eyes were _crawling_.  


She couldn't contain herself and they got right to work on the _nerdiest_ _acorn_ ever seen.

So every word that is underscored is a word Riley picked out, not knowing the story I had written.  I just asked her for an adjective, noun, body part, number, and coached her to not use boring words. :)
The girls were peeing their pants laughing, even when I read it to them for the 5th time.
I remember doing books of these as a kid on road trips.  Hours of fun.

Love it... and thanks for the new "today my kids said" quote. Remind me to play the mad lib game when I have goofy 8 years olds.
