Linda’s SoCS prompt.
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “board/bored.” Use one, or use them both for bonus points. Enjoy!
"Mum! We're bored!" they said "How can you be bored?" I sighed "There's nothing to do!" "Really, kids? Nothing?" I glanced around the bedroom "Read a book?" "No!" "Watch a film?" "Seen em all." "Arts and crafts?" "Meh!" "Garden?" "It's cold." "The park?" "Same as above!" "Shall we bake?" "Nope." "I know," I said Opening that treasure trove That acts as their toy box I moved ageing Spiderman figures And Barbie dolls. My Little Ponies and light sabres Until I found them Little flat boxes of joy Scrabble Monopoly Ludo Frustration "Who wants to play a game?" "Me! Me!" came the cries Everyone loves a board game!

Gosh, always these similar sounding words. You will not believe how difficult it is, getting them into my mind, Sis! Quite apart from the fact that you, as a native speaker, pronounce them so quickly. 😉 xx Michael

Lovely post Sis brings back memories, infact my post was similar… Instead of the board game ( great choice) I used to plug imagination 😊😊💜💜🤣🤣

Excellent job on the prompt, Ritu. Board games are just the ticket to replace boredom with family fun or family fighting.
