Not Until Now

We have a continuous game going on at our house. It is so fun that Brett is thinking of turning it into a children's book someday. It's called "Not Until Now."

The premise is quite simple. One participant asks another if they have ever seen something silly or incredible. Hopefully the question rhymes and portrays a unique and silly visual image. (Example: Have you ever seen a deer taste a root beer?) The other participants in chorus style chime in with, "Not until now!" It is then the next person's turn to come up with his own splendid statement. The game continues until a child falls asleep or a parent's pateince wears thin.

Here is an excerpt from Brett's soon-to-be-published tome:

Have you ever seen Maisy turn into a daisy?

Not until now!

Have you ever seen a shark play a song in the dark?

(Everybody together!)

Not until now!!

Have you ever seen a stool make a girl feel so cool?

(You know what to do)

NOT UNTIL NOW!

Have you ever seen a sock that was a trusty mop? (That almost rhymes)

NOT UNTIL NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you ever seen a baby who was a crazy lady?

Not until what?

NOT UNTIL NOW

And finally,

Have you ever seen a smile make you laugh for a while?

That's right, make this your best one . . .

NOT UNTIL NOW!!
