Um, yeah… this may be an unsuccessful experiment.

Delmont, your kid has issues. Unfortunately, I think it’s unavoidable. I had issues at 13.

see… that’s what i mean… I can’t write what I truly was thinking because there is a small child involved.
If it’s any consolation, my son is 13 and would have loved to be the kid in the scenario I was drafting… of course, his favorite web search words are “Hookers at work”… and when I’m BLANKING at my son, it usually has something to do with a computer virus or the hot water bill…

I’m almost certain little Truant hasn’t gotten to that stage yet.

I don’t think my mom will be reading this, but I do think that what I need from this madlibs exercise is to have the parts of speech you’d like filled into each blank, so I can ask my husband for them, and we can all have a chuckle about how the serendipitous final product turns out.

Say what you’d like, but it would be awesome if you could avoid defaming my kids.

How bad can we be? Is anyone’s mother gonna be reading this?

I was all over it, in a bad kinda sicko-twisted way until I saw that you mentioned your son by name.

I felt bad enuf for “BLANKING at your son to BLANK his damn BLANK” but then, to send the little guy off to stay with “BLANK” was more than I could handle. Little Austin deserves better…

Maybe if you had named him Connor, instead. We have a Connor on our block. I highly dislike Connor. In fact, everyone highly dislikes Connor.

Not sure how you wanted it, but that’s the genius of comment editing! Enjoy.

Saturday was Valentine’s Day. My wife and I have two kids, so it’s not like we were going to get any street cred (1) with which to get all “dope!” (2) and “rad!”(3), but we also haven’t yet totally given up on the honkification (4) as both of our respective pasty selves (5) seem to have. This makes for a sad childhood(6). Nothing spells uncool (7) like rapping (8) at your son to check (9) his damn self (10) while your wife ignores you to chuck(11) food into the microwave(12).

And what’s more, we no longer have any real idea how to be ‘down’(13). The kids have so accustomed us to having a slice(14) of wonderbread(15) during a meal that when we’re alone, it’s totally awkward like when you go out alone with your homies(16) who you actually only know through crunk lessons(17), and without that other person there, you’re both all like, “Do you like cheese? Because I think it’s awesome. [Heavy silence.] So, clubbing seals is a bummer, huh?”

So we did the gangster (18) thing. We sent Austin off to stay with Steve(19) for the night, because he wasn’t going to dramatically alter the epiphany(20) she was going to have with fellow crackers (21) at Bob Evans. We had to keep the baby. Then we made chicken parmesan, opened a bottle of Boone’s Farm(22), and ate it while watching Borat after she was asleep.

All in all, I’d have to say that ruled(23).

Pfft. I actually thought about that, but decided it would be funnier if I let you put whatever you wanted in there. Words, whole phrases, whatever. I had considered removing a few “the” and “and”s just to be a dick, too.

Violation of traditional MadLib bylaws! I see a lack of descriptions of noun/verb/dangling modifier, so I guess I have to do the work for myself, as if I have nothing better to do today than go over my sixth grade parts of speech in english (remedial course). This is going to make it twice as hard. I’ll get started now, sheesh.
