Red Writing Hood: It’s 8:00, do you know where you children are?

November 4, 2011

Creative, Memes, Red Writing Hood

8PM, newborn:

Hungry, hungry, hungry, wait.  Ewwww.  Wet, wet, wet, WEEEEET!

8PM, 5-year-old:

Daddy’s coming to get me soon, Daddy’s coming to get me soon, YAY!!!!!

8PM, 10-year-old:

Man, I never get to stay up to watch Moonlighting!

8PM, 15-year-old:

Crap… OK, Don’t panic.  J you’ve got to help me get the car out of this ditch, I CAN’T call my dad for help, he’ll kill me!

8PM, 20-year-old:

Margarita, salt, rocks. (Look confident.  Use the Force.  These are not the under-agers you’re looking for…)

8PM, 25-year-old:

Hrm… where are we going out to dance, and which shoes should I wear?

8PM, 30-year-old:

Hrm… what are we making for dinner, and which bottle of wine are we cracking open?  By the way, you want kids when we get married, right?

8PM, 35-year-old:

Hungry, hungry, hungry, wait.  Ewwww.  Wet, wet, wet, WEEEEET!

    Great take on the prompt! I smiled at all of them. Now I’m tempted to go back and attempt a year-by-year for myself. 8PM sure looked a lot different five years ago…

      Oh please do, and then come back and add a link to it here in the comments! I had a lot of fun trying to find the really defining emotions and moments, and I bet you will, too! I’d love to see what all of your 8PMs are. 🙂

      Thanks! To be honest, it was totally last-minute as it was Friday lunchtime, and I’d only just read the prompt… Inspiration out of desperation? 😉
