Had so much fun playing Mad Libs as a child , diving headlong into surrealism and humor while learning the parts of speech. Thrilled to see Miles getting into Mad Libs now – we’re having a gas learning to tell our adverbs from our plural nouns. Loved the Nixon and other old-school political references in this one he completed today:
Ladies and gentlemen, on this
sleepyoccasion, it is a privilege to address such agassylooking group ofbirds. I can tell from yoursmilingcarsthat you will support mysassyprogram in the coming election. I promise that, if elected, there will be amirrorin everytoothpasteand twoleavesin everygarage. I want to warn you against mystinkyopponent Mr.Miles. The man is acoolshoe. He has aboastfulcharacter and is workingventinglovewith the criminal element. If elected, I promise to eliminate vice. I will keep thesea turtlesoff the city streets. I will keep crooks from dipping theirpencilsin the public till. I promise yourainygovernment,cleantaxes, andrunnyschools.

If Miles runs on a platform solely to “keep the sea turtles” “off the public streets” and out of harm’s way during egg-hatching season —- I will totally vote for him!
Check out this monster that my parents watched lay her eggs last year —- and the eggs hatched on Christmas Eve!!

Miles says : “That’s awesome!!!” :)
The recent Tsunami put sea turtles in palm trees in Hawaii~so Miles’ Surrealist Party platform is quite practical as well!
