A Mad Lib!

First, write down, or just meditatively consider, your answers for these:

1. A floor surface on which it would be really inconvenient or even infuriating to get dog poop.
2. A piece of information with which one becomes familiar at an early age, like ones name or age or one's mother's likely reaction to finding dog poop ground into the rug.
3. Something you wear on your feet which might handily convey dog poop from the yard into the house.
4. Place where the dog poops.
5. A liquid you can get from the outdoor faucet or the indoor faucet, either one.
6. Rectangular boundary between the area where poop can be on the ground and the place where it can't be.
7. Animal that poops outside.
8. Byproduct of dog digestion.
9. Small moveable floor covering, which may or may not (in this case may) have a dark and complicated pattern, perfect for hiding smudges and smears of dog poop.
10. Past tense verb describing a reaction one might have to frustration. Examples: "tore myself limb from limb" or "threw myself out the window" or "cried."

Now, let's move on to our story.

We have one room in our house with __1__. And we have one rule regarding this. This is a rule that the children know better than their own __2__. The rule: You may not wear __3__ on the carpet. Today we were playing out in the __4__. Benny decided he needed __5__ to fill the pool for the fairy house he was making. He went to the __6__ and into the house without taking off his __3__. At this time I was engaged with throwing a ball for the __7__, having already been around the yard with a bunch of plastic bags, picking up all the __8__ I could find. Apparently, Benny found a hidden cache of __8__, because when I went through the __6__ later, I found that __8__ had been handily tramped all over the __1__, across the kitchen floor, and then thoughtfully spread around particularly the __9__ in front of the kitchen sink. Then I __10___. And that was before, after cleaning it all up, I stepped in the bit I had missed.

Wasn't that a SUPERFUN GAME?
