Readathon: Mad-Libs Challenge

This fun challenge is hosted by the ladies at Nisaba be Praised,  The idea is to select a short paragraph from the book you are reading, remove words then ask a friend, neighbor or total stranger to randomly select words to replace them - creating a "Mad-Lib".

Here is my original sentence, from page 71 of Tapestry of Fortunes by Elizabeth Berg:

"But I think maybe it was just one of those times when a memory picks you up and carries you off like dandelion fluff." (which, by the way, is an awesome sentence)

Here's the Mad-Lib version created with random words selected by my husband, Dave:

"But I think maybe it was just one of those times when a rifle picks you up and passes you off like a pumpkin."  (not as awesome - but strangely graphic)

Thanks for the fun challenge, girls.  Back to reading.
