Okay. I wasn't going to participate in this Kissy Blog Fest, because kissing isn't something I normally talk about here. That's for all the romance writers - not a children's writer like me! But as it turned out, my son did something funny that is totally related to this. So, I'm going to share it here and tell you about the blog fest, in case you haven't heard about it and want to participate.
The rules are
simple:
1.
Sign up on the linky list and post the badge on your blog.
2. On
one of the days of the week of September 9th, post a kissing scene on your blog.
It can be either fiction or non-fiction.
3.
Please do not exceed 250 words.
4.
This is a blogfest, so visit the other participants and have fun!
But wait. There's More.
There will be prizes!
The
scenes will be judged by these amazing romance authors: Cecilia Robert,
Laurelin Paige,
Kyra Lennon, and

awesome prizes.

Now for my story:
As part of my son's nightly homework, he is supposed to read for twenty minutes. Sometimes I let him do it by himself. But once in a while, I make him read out loud so that I know he's actually doing it. (My boy has a tendency to daydream!)
Yesterday was one of those days that I made him read to me. I sat next to him as he began. It started off okay, but then it regressed into smooch sounds:
SMOOCH SMOOCH ..... SMOOCH SMOOCH SMOOCH SMOOCH....SMOOCH
"Bubba, what the heck are you doing?" I asked.
"Reading in kissing language."
I looked at him funny. "Kissing language?"
"Yeah," he said. Then he explained it. " 'I was about to ask why,' is 'SMOOCH SMOOCH....SMOOCH SMOOCH....SMOOCH....SMOOCH....SMOOCH.' Can't you understand that?"
I shook my head. "No, Bubba. I can't. And there's no way I'm going to listen to twenty minutes of Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters in kissing language!"
"But I bet you understand this!" He leaned over and planted a wet kiss on my cheek.
I laughed. "Yes, Bubba. I understand that. I love you, too! Now finish reading - the right way!"
That is too, too sweet! Thank you for sharing and yes, for including it in the blogfest! This one's a winner for sure! Loved it!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm glad it worked out that I actually had something to write for it!
Deletehaha understanding one out of two isn't bad
ReplyDeleteLOL! I wonder if anyone else would've understood the kissing language number one?
DeleteYou had me in stitches with this Sherry!
ReplyDeleteI also signed up last minute... it's the first romantic scene I've ever written!

Glad you liked it! I took a look at your entry. Nice job!
DeleteWhat a sweet story, the boy will go far!
ReplyDeleteBut hopefully not too far. ;)
Deleteoh, he will manipulate you so smoothly when he gets in his teens :P
ReplyDeleteI know. He certainly has a way about him!
DeleteSorry, but I have to agree with Dezmond, look out for the teens. He knows mom's weak spot. (Kissing language - who knew)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I'm in for a lot of trouble!
DeleteNow I have to wonder where he got the 'smooch, smooch' from . . . ;-)

ReplyDeleteI'm glad it worked out. This was a fun blog hop.
DeleteThat's cute. I'm not going to participate in the hop because I'm too busy, but I have kind of a funny story about a man at the nursing home who tried to stick his tongue in my mouth when I gave him a little bedtime kiss.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Sounds like a great hop and awww...Bubba!
ReplyDeleteNas

He certainly is! The ladies had better look out!
DeleteAwww, how sweet. Not at all what I was expecting, which made it even better.
ReplyDeleteCute story.
ReplyDeleteThe smooching does sound like a language.
Once he explained it, I was able to listen and get it. Sort of. :)
DeleteAw, that was a cute one. :D X
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute story - love that he has a kissing language.
ReplyDeleteHe's pretty good at it, too!
DeleteGirls are going to flock to him
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm afraid of. ;)
DeleteHahaha, this is brilliant! Bless him!
ReplyDeleteAwww, how sweet!
ReplyDeleteAwww..he's such a sweetie!
