The picture is hilarious! Nobody wants to upset mom, children! I acknowledge that this is a club entry for the 'Funny Sign,' event, Flash Fiction. She resembles the Bride of Chucky in this picture! Is this event surpassed? Good find pertaining to the picture! Oh, my! I better be a good ghost or pay the piper! She doesn't look in a good mood!

I know when I was working and would come home to find the entire neighborhood playing video games and eating all the snacks, I felt this way a time or two. I might have even looked like her...LOL Thanks so much for the review.

I missed this one. What a fun poem. Pay in advance! LOL. Burials in the back yard! Now that's an idea, it would keep the costs down. I really enjoyed this poem, it gave me a much needed laugh. Well done, my dear friend. Sandra xxx

It gave me a laugh as well! I think I might have looked like that a time or two when years ago I would come home from a long day and fin my home over populated with all the neighborhood kids playing video games and eating all the food. At least, I knew I could always find my son. LOL
Thanks as always, Sandra. Hope all is well with you.
Smiles and hugs and lots of love, Carol

This is a scream! That will run off those pesky door to door salesman. But the worst right now are the democrat canvasers. I swear, they are relentless! Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the flash.

Any more, I don't want anyone to come to my door or all those rolling calls...If I don't know you, go away! Turning into a crank old lady, I guess.

Lol! I know her face and how she feels. Been there. Done that. This is the perfect sign to put out to make sure no one even smiles much less argues with you. The funniest part is 'burials available.'

Thanks, Lorraine! I know I felt like that a few times when I came home from a long day to find every neighborhood kid plus mine in the house playing videos, drinking pop and eating my snacks. I realize my son was safe but so was evreyone else and they didn't have to worry about dinner because they were already full. LOL

Oh you are so kind, Dawn! I know we have all been in that "place" once or twice in our lifetime and we just need a moment to breathe. Thank you for the review and the lovely stars. Have a great day!

Once or twice is a vast understatement for "moi" -- Lol.
You are very welcome.

Ahhhh yes, quite the sentiment. Good job and hope you do well in the contest. We have all been there. Time to go find a lovely place to sit by the water, rest and let go of the drama. I have shovel and flowers...Esther

This one is funny and a good entry for the sign event. I'm glad it wasn't long because I late again and I would have had to have read it otherwise. I need a month to catch up.

I definitely got a kick out of this "funny sign." My mother needs a similar one. I wish we all really wore these signs. LOL. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

i think when I came home from work and always found the entire neighborhood in my house playing video games and eating all my snacks and pop. I might have felt like this a few times. But they were good kids and it was safer in my house than on the streets. At least I knew where my son was at. Thanks so much.

Ha! I saw a woman at a festival with those exact words written on the back of her shorts. She didn't look angry, but very pleased.

That would be funny. I'm guessing messing with person would result in death so payment upfront would be required.

Your mind went elsewhere I see.... That's what writing is all about, isn't it? Triggering thoughts in others.
Mine on the other hand went to the house full of neighborhodd kinds plus my own playing videos, leaving pop cans everywhere, and eating anything and everything in my kitchen. I know a time or two lives were close to being endangered. Just joking!

I like this, especially the backyard burials with flowers included, I don't think we are allowed to heh heh, and payment in advance otherwise we'll dig it up again, beautifully written Carol, blessings Roy

I live in the country and have a pet cemetery there ever since I was very young. When I'd find a household of kids playing video games and pop cans and snacks everywhere, I must admit I might have suggested there was room for a kid or two. Just kidding!
