My sister and her family came in town for the 4th, so along with my parents we all went to the lake for a picnic complete with bocce, golden oldies on the radio, Italian music on cd's, and boat rides from Nonno. Since the 4th was on a Friday, and since we are having a
Haiku Summer, I passed out 3x5 index cards and had EVERYONE write a haiku.
Oh, everyone groaned.
And complained.
"A Hi-koo?!" some smart-aleck yelled.
But I can be very influential. I know how to be convincing.
Here, this haiku written by my favorite sister says it all:
Bia is the boss.
We do whatever she says,
Or else we don't eat.
You see, I can even be inspirational.

Yes, the family members tend to groan when we hear Bia say, "I have a great game to play!" We jump into Bia's inspirational games with a bit of reluctance but, strangely, we always end up having fun with it! (We have to, or else she withholds food.) :-)

the help desk failed me

I love this idea. I am reducing everything to haiku. It makes it seem gentler than real life just at the moment.
I love it. Too cute...keep on being the ogre!
Blessings, E
LOL!
Love this post, Bia!
Right down to Shrek smiling there.
You are so funny!
Ahhhh, the old, "no food 'til you do what I say" trick!! Gotta love it!
I agree with Elizabeth . . . "keep being the ogre" especially when pushing good ideas on family!
A quick note from A Catholic Notebook. . . . you can add your favorite books to the Blogger's Choice Catholic Reading List until Wednesday. The deadline was extended due to some special requests! I can't wait to see and share the results at the end of the week. Come on by!
OK - you inspired me! Head to my blog to see my summer haiku (only one so far).
I love your sister's Haiku. It made me giggle :)
