55 - So Many Adventures

Dancing through the artificially produced rain we litter the neighborhood with laughter and "ha ha's" to rival the French. 

Suddenly, amidst wildly shot arrows of water we dip and dodge attempting to avoid and be hit at the same time.

The mood changes, the moon is spotted, the adventure is now moon rocks for Mama.

Tell a story in 55 words. Give it a try or just read more, go see g-man.

My first attempt at 55 details a quick changing summer adventure around a sprinkler with my son.  Hopefully a decent account.

    Oh, I second Brian's encouragement! You 55 made me picture kids enjoying a hot summer day and into evening, lost on an adventure. Some of my favorite memories are from that time, and you have evoked them. Very nice.

    I especially liked "we litter the neighborhood with laughter and "ha ha's" to rival the French." I can just hear a snooty Fenchman laughing his nasal, disparaging laugh in reply.

    I think you did a fantastic job. I have written a 6 word story, but never a 55.
