Last Monday of the Year

Wow, what a useless question from the daily writing prompt. If you started a sports team, what would the colors and mascot be? Very lame.

Well, I’ll take a pass on that one and answer the question of the final Monday of the Year of 2025. What should we do with our granddaughter today? Of course, we will build forts, she is really into creating her world through the cushions and blankets and chairs and couches in the house.

She will get her choices at lunch and dinner. I’d like to take her out for one of those meals. Mainly because I’d like to get out. And I do enjoy trying to get her to try new foods.

She likes a game called Cover Monster where I chase here with big blankets. I’ll see if she would like to paint with me a bit. Maybe I’ll have her help hang some things on my office walls.

We have high wind warnings today and into tomorrow so outside play will be very limited. I hope we don’t lose power.

I’m making her some bacon this morning. She used to love that but now seems a bit indifferent to it this morning. That’s kids for ya.

While it’s always a bit of work watching a 6-year-old, it’s also a fun way to spend the last Monday of 2025.

Go Team

If you started a sports team, what would the colors and mascot be? – It appears I’m running out of the daily writing prompts questions.

Being its Christmas Day one of the colors must be Red. And I’ll go with Black as the second for Santa’s belt is black right?

Now lets see, a mascot. Well, I’ll go with the holiday spirit and say a Reindeer being its Christmas Day.
