It's a mad mad mad mad world of words!

After fiddling around online to try and come up with an activity to do with the Teen Center kiddos at the St. John branch I stumbled across a madlibs website. Since the theme next month is fairy tales, I thought this might match up well. So I tried it out myself and this is what I came up with. Without further ado, I give you the.....

THE TALE OF LITTLE RED FREEZING COLD HOOD

Once upon a rubix cube, there lived a striped girl
called "Little Red freezing cold Hood". Little Red freezing
cold Hood just loved to practice in the forest.

One day, her sister-in-law called to her and said, "Little
Red freezing cold hood, would you please bring this basket
of forks to your polka dotted grandmother in the woods?"

Little Red freezing cold Hood started off down the bathtub,
but on the way she met a big bad yogi. "Where are you
going?" the yogi asked her. "Oh," she replied, "I am going
to bring these forks to my grandmother, so that she will
become less polka dotted!"

The yogi quickly ran down the bathtub to grandma's house, and
when he got there he slapped her in one gulp! He quickly put
on her cardigan and got in the eyelash.

When Little Red freezing cold Hood walked in, she was
horrified to see the yogi in grandma's eyelash. "Why
grandma!" she said. "What big slippers you have!" "The
better to jogging you with, my dear!" he yelled, and jumped
out of the eyelash.

Luckily, at that very moment a handsome scrunchie happened
to be walking along the bathtube and heard Little Red freezing
cold Hood fighting with the yogi. He ate the door down, then
smacked the yogi with his own panty hose. The yogi begged
for mercy and ran away. Then Little red freezing cold hood
and the scrunchie shared some forks, and lived playfully
ever after.

Nice tip! I used this today with my class at the end of a science testing period in the computer lab. They loved it.

I loved it. I think it might actually be less random than most fairy tales!

Thanks for getting all four "mads" in there. So many people only put three!

It's true - panty hose almost never show mercy.
