Mummy's Tour of Terror

Who needs to pay big bucks to visit a haunted house? I've got plenty of nightmares right here at home...


Wanna see somethin' slimy? Smell somethin' foul?

Just open the crisper...you'll scream and you'll howl.


Notice the details? Like the gum on the floor

Our li'l monsters left it there for your enjoyment and horror!

(Dumb Mummy gives her kids gum to be oh-so-cool...

She thinks she's a phan, but she's really a phool!)



Next, come into the bathroom and see the trick mirrors...


they add wrinkles and pimples and reduce you to tears!

Still feeling brave? Well, isn't that great?!

Step on this torture device...it adds 10 pounds extra weight!



Now, whatever in THIS room could give you the chills?

Look close on that desk...some spine-tingling bills!
(And when the man of the house sits down to write checks, he'll
Turn from nice Mr. Hyde to a crazed Dr. Jekyll...)

This door looks quite tame, right? Well, the worst ones all do...
What's hiding behind it?
Watch out! The kid's loo...


The floor is so scuzzy--slicked up for the kill.
And if the smell doesn't getcha, the big laundry piles will!


And last stop's the calendar, just so you'll remember...
only 49 shopping days left until the BIG DAY this December.

Got Goosebumps?

I'm shivering with fright. You forgot the scariest thing of all. Your alarm clock and seminary class. Maybe you are saving that for Halloween.

Oh Gab. You're an inspiration to us all. Truth, poetry, photos, you are the complete package.

I am so glad I am not the only one with rotting veggies and gum in the carpet! This was truly entertaining.

Paige said...

Who knew the life of a regular housewife could be so poetic. You're a poet and I didn't know it, but your feet show it, they're Longfellows.
