Three Word Wednesday


This is my first time doing 3WW.

This week's words are:
Original
Racket
Skipping

Below is my entry:


Domestic Bliss

She was sitting at the computer when she heard a loud crash, a yell and shrieks of laughter. She ran to the living room. "What's all that racket???"

Her oldest daughter had been skipping rope (in the middle of the living room, come on!) when the rope got tangled up in her youngest daughter's big wheel rider thingy. The rider went up in the air and landed a few feet from the TV. The oldest was not hurt, but she was crying in full-blown drama-queen mode. The youngest, momentarily distracted from her easel by the crash, thought it was a game and laughed delightedly. A closer look at the little rascal showed her arms and legs covered in blue marker scribbles, original toddler tattoo art. Great, just great.

  1. Welcome to 3 Word Wednesday! Sounds like this one might have been autobiographical in spirit, if not in detail. :) What a delightful read!

  2. A wonderful first entry; ripped from the real life pages of a mother in crises. Or some such. ;)
