In the Sunday Mail (Adelaide’s Sunday newspaper) By Melissa Leong “I wonder if we’re losing our capability for rational discussion” There’s no question that the world is in the toilet right now. And I mean right at the bottom of the bowl, you know? Sure, as long as there have been people on the planet, we’ve had or issues. But at present it certainly feels as though things have hit a fever pitch that only dogs and bats should be able to hear. As such, I don’t think anyone can be blamed for being a little (or a lot) up in arms, From the atrocities of war and political injustice to social inequality; tragedy and environmental disaster, there’s a lot to be angry, sad and confused about, that’s for sure. I don’t know about you, but every day feels a bit like a powder keg waiting to blow at any given moment. As our patience wears thin on the issues we care about, I’m noticing that a new kind of worrying trend is rising in tandem. For the sake of our conversation, I’m going t...
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.
