Get Dirty, Have a Shower
May 11th, 2007 @ 10:00 am by Mrs. Lovebug
It seems that lately, there have been some requests for fun bridal shower games. Ever the public servant, I hereby submit Miss Lovebug’s Bridal Shower Mad Lib. Yes, you can buy entire books of these online. But mine is free! Born of my own, twisted imagination!
If you’re feeling Puritanical, wait until it passes. It’s best to think badly, very badly.

STORY:
On the day of her wedding, ___1___ found herself in quite a pickle. As she was standing at the altar, watching the ___2___officiant, she realized he was far more ___3___than she’d ever noticed before, and his voice was a hypnotic as ___4___’s. And as he spoke, she was totally oblivious to ___5___, who was rather ___6___that day, having been ___7___for hours the night before.
Poor ___8___couldn’t take her eyes off the officiant’s ___9___ which reminded her of her favorite animal, the ___10___. She found herself wondering what he would look like with his ___11___ off, and watched riveted as he read passages from ___12___with heartfelt sentimentality. She pictured the two of them running off to ___13___ together, or just escaping to the ___14___ nearby for a quick tryst.
Suddenly, ___15___ woke up! She saw ___16___ staring at her with ___17___. “Why are you breathing so hard?” he asked. “Oh,” answered ___18___, I was just dreaming about ___19___. So, do you want ___20___ for breakfast, or what?”

Ok, so, I came up with a sentence that reads:
“Poor Laura couldn’t take her eyes of the officiant’s cleavage, which reminded her of her favourite animal, the squirrel.”
There are no words to describe how hard this made me laugh.
Hahaha, nice. When I did the test run on Mr. Lovebug, we had fun with it, too. 
Great creative idea. Someone could really have fun customizing the script for the couple.
OMG! I am so upset that I have already had my showers and thus will have no more opportunities where this would be even remotely appropriate.
I mean, I play Madlibs all the time with my students (read: sneaky way to teach parts of speech), but somehow I don’t think this one would go over very well with my principal…
