action figures Edith VonnegutHonestly, look at this mess. Now listen up!  You cherubs will be the death of me, or someone else if they trip on those toys you’ve abandoned everywhere.

I mean, good folk have made it all the way along the road to eternity,  only to stumble on the stairway to heaven which is littered with your slinkies and action men.  Dying once is bad enough, but falling down the steps and dying again is just not fair.

You know what the Holy Honcho is like.  If he sees this there’ll be hell to pay!  So sort it, NOW!

    Falling down or stumbling upon days is something that happens to me on an everyday basis .. when living with a toddler, who thinks the whole of the floor is road !! 🤣🤣🤣
    Loved it Keith 😄😄

      Oh yes, I remember that so well when mine were small. Thanks so much, Nima.

    Thanks for joining in our prompt today, Keith. I didn’t think “good intentions” led to the stairway to heaven, though. And she needs her white robe. 🙂

      You are right! I’m getting my heaven and hell back to front! Duly edited out. Actually., I think she looks quite fetching without her robe!

        I’ll have Rosey give you a good talking-to.

    As I was saying to Charlie just the other day when I stepped on a lego….

      Can be quite painful – I’m not sure I want to hear what you said!

    Nice writing. The only things around my house anymore that I trip on are from the dog.

      I’m on my own so if I trip over something it’s my own fault!

        Haha, Keith, It’s only me and David and the dog. The house should be spotless!
