LJ Idol Season 8, Week 21, The Straw That Stirs the Drink

[imafarmgirl]

I lean forward, tightening my lips over the straw. I blow and blow. The bubbles in my soda make a neat noise as the ice hits the sides of the glass. Across the table my brother imitates me. I have to stop blowing just to laugh. I am in stitches because there is something so funny about blowing bubbles

Thanks

Wonderful, and I applaud the fact that you may want to do childish things, being deprived has that effect. Go blow the bubbles, and do what makes you happy. You deserve at least that.

[imafarmgirl]

Thanks. I think we all deserve it.

[basric]

Well done as always.

[imafarmgirl]

Thank you

This reminded me of my straw memory was when my youngest daughter was little, we made a big game of slurping out the last little bit of McDonald's milkshakes, then we would move the straw up and down through the hole in the cover and make a squeaky noise. We laughed and laughed and still wiggle the straws today to get that "happy noise" sound. Lovely entry!

I love wiggling the straws to get that squeaky noise too! I also like trying to slurp up the list bit. What fun memories. You made me smile.

[myrna_bird]

Good! I'm smiling, too. Except that this poll will be a nail-biter!

[imafarmgirl]

Yes, it will be!

as usual, very well thought out and presented.

I still make sand castles, and scuffle through Autumn leaves whenever I get the chance [that is; whenever i am somewhere that deciduous trees grow in the Autumn, which means not here in my little corner of south-east Queensland]

[imafarmgirl]

Thanks.

I love chrunching through leaves. It has been years since I made a sand castle though.
