Monday's prompt: What is your earliest memory?
Dana Lee wrote:
When I was younger my mom ran a daycare
out of the house. About once a week we would all ride our bikes to what we
called the cookie store. To this day I do not remember the actual name of the store,
even though my mom told me about a million times. At the cookie store I always
got wafer cookies because there were three separate flavors and I was able to
get one of each.
On one day in particular, Barney was visiting the store so of
course we had to go see him. I had it all in my head that I was going to sing
the "I love you" song to him because that is what you do when you see
Barney, right? When all was said and done I got nervous and did not sing. I was
mad the whole way home. I probably got grounded when I got home for causing
such commotion but I do not remember for sure.

the lottery.

“This is Action Channel 8 MNKY news, I'm Mary Supial, coming
to you live from the Detroit zoo, where BoBo the monkey is absolutely ecstatic.
Today he found out that the lottery ticket the staff here bought him is a
winner. BoBo the monkey is now 100 million dollars richer. When I asked what he
would get with his new found millions, he flung his poo in my face and screamed
loudly. According the staff this means he will buy himself a banana farm and a
life time supply of gogurt. According to the staff..it was his favorite. Back to you John.”
Friday's prompt: What is your favorite song? Re-write a
verse or a chorus to it.

I find it difficult to
pick one favorite song of all time, although there are many likely candidates.
However, I have been listening to a song recently that I consider my current
favorite, and I have actually already reworded the final chorus.
The song is about
moving on from something old to something new, leaving behind pain and
troubles, and holding true to one's self during it all.
The original chorus
goes:
"It's time to
begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am."
I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am."
But I've changed the
final chorus to add a sense of finality and confidence:
"It's time to
begin, this is it!
I get a little bit
bigger than this, I'll admit
I'm just the same as I
ever was,
Now don't you
understand
That I'm never going
back again?"
It doesn't change the
meaning of the song or even the spirit, but I feel like it adds variety and a
stronger purpose as the song closes.
