Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections. A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please. Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one. Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. Brother R came to visit and brought me some old paperwork belonging to my dad, who has been dead for 25 and a half years now. They'd been stored in a container with moth balls and were quite stinky so I pegged them out on the clothes rack in the back porch three days later, most are now inside, but the heavier items such as dad's passports are still smelly so they are still out there. I now have the original copy of his natu...
Sudden thunder showers on Earth are really caused by Angels with Super-Soakers in Heaven.
Dad used to tell me that thunder was god bowling. He also told me that eating my bread crust would make my hair curly.
ReplyDeletelotta joy; I heard the same thing about thunder and bread crusts :) I know the bread crust thing isn't true, my hair is curly/wavy anyway, but most people I know eat their crusts and not all of them have curly hair. I wonder how that statement came about?
DeleteSounds like a fun place....no paint balls?
ReplyDeleteonly slightly confused; I'm sure some of the younger Angels have paint in their super soakers :)
DeleteI think most kids get the 'God bowling' thing. Not hard to imagine a shoot out with the super-soakers, is it?
ReplyDeleteS.J Qualls; super-soaker shoot-outs are great fun, my grandkids had them one summer and boy did the water fly!
DeleteSo THAT'S the reason!!
ReplyDeletefishducky; yep! there's a reason for everything.
DeleteMakes perfect sense! Like everyone else, I got that bowling story about thunder. The only reason we weren't told about the super soaker is it wasn't invented yet!
ReplyDeleteSusan; I bet the Angels had them first and showed them to someone in a dream so he/she could invent them here on earth.
DeleteEven angels deserve some fun...
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; of course they do. Everyone does.
DeleteBy the sounds of it there have been a few of those angels hovering about down your way lately and throughout the Forbes area in NSW. The drought-stricken areas of western Qld have had their share of super-soaker angels, too. :)
ReplyDeleteLee; they're here alright, but still bowling, I guess the supersoakers aren't ready yet.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear drought areas are getting soaked.
Cute cartoon! It looks like many of us received the same parenting tales! My brother and I were told that thunder was the angels bowling, and of course we believed it...our parents' said so! :)
ReplyDeleteBECKY; I learned fairly early not to believe everything my parents said. After all, the kids at school learned entirely different things sometimes, so I got suspicious. Whose parents had the REAL story?
ReplyDeleteSqueezing her cheeks while punching her in the stomach. Such a description of abuse moved my soul. You always create great stories.
