Trifecta: It's ALWAYS Something With Boys

Carefree hang time,

Spinning 360 degrees,

Snowboarding bliss

one moment,

Morphs into

fractured bones,

flesh,

plaster.

Yet,

a boy smiles big discovering

growth plates aren’t closed!

6’2” and beyond.

You’re still our “Peanut”.

This weekend's Trifextra challenge:  As you'll recall from your elementary science class days, the structure of the earth can be divided most simply into three sections: core, mantle, crust.  Here's a diagram.

Give us 33 words from it.  Interpret the prompt however you wish--literal, metaphorical, or somewhere in between.  If you would like to use the image on your own blog, you must properly credit it.

Let The Stress, Errr Season, Begin!

Yep! It’s that time of year again. And this weekend starts it all.

Yippee! It’s the Holidays.

Kids arrive home bearing “gifts” that smell.

In-laws from both sides come for a visit. Some stay too long; some not long enough. You know the saying about fish and relatives, right? They begin to smell after three days.

Households might be a little more stressed than usual for the next six weeks…Or possibly not and never in my house, for sure ;-)

I thought I’d leave you with a short saying that might hold some truth.

I don’t know. 

Just throwing it out there.
