Fully Alive…Ready to Smile

Let’s play a game, m’kay?  Yeah, yeah, yeah!!!

Perhaps you remember it from your childhood.  I know it was one of my favorites to play when having sleepovers with my friends.  We would spend hours giggling over our crazy answers.

MAD LIBS!!!  LOVE it!!!  So here’s the deal.  I’m going to give you the list of fill-ins I need and I want you to leave me a comment in this post with your answers.  Then tomorrow I will put them together into a funny story for you.  Sounds thrilling, doesn’t it?  I know.

Okay, so before we start some of us need a quick refresher…

• ADJECTIVE: describes something or somebody.  Lumpy, soft, ugly, messy, and short are adjectives.

• ADVERB: tells how something is done.  It modifies a verb and usually ends in “ly.”  Modestly, stupidly, greedily, and carefully are adverbs.

• NOUN: is the name of a person, place or thin.  Sidewalk, umbrella, bridle, bathtub, and nose are nouns.

• VERB: is an action word. Run, pitch, jump, and swim are verbs.

• EXCLAMATION OR SILLY WORD: is any sort of funny sound, gasp, grunt, or outcry.  Wow!  Ouch!  Whomp!  Ick!  Gadzooks! are exclamations and silly words.

Here’s an example:

exclamation: Oi!

adverb: grumpily

noun:  tractor

adjective:  wrinkly

And this would be the finished product (with the fill-ins in bold):

“Oi!” he said grumpily, as he jumped into his convertible tractor and drove off with is wrinkly wife.

And there you have it.  Mad Libs.  So fun.

Okay, now it’s your turn.  Here’s the list of words I need you to give me.  Like I said, read the list and then leave me a comment in the comment section with your list.
