Conversations with the Smiths- Part 3

Our 15 year old was in a production of "Zombie Prom" this Spring.

Lilyanna was particularly fascinated by the whole idea of the show and kept asking how the main character, Jonny, becomes a zombie.

My kid is the one who is not green.


Both Benjamin and I had explained that he drives his motorcycle into a Power Plant but instead of dying, he turns into a zombie.

Weeks later, after seeing the posters for the show, meeting some of the other kids involved in the production, and hearing a bit more about the story line, Lilyanna piped up from the backseat of the van saying, "So, are they going to use a real bush in the play?"

Me: What do you mean?

Lilyanna: In "Zombie Prom", when he jumps into the power plant, will it be a real bush or a fake one?

Me: Um....OHHHH! Not THAT kind of plant, Lilyanna!

Benjamin and Me: [fumbling explanation of what a power plant is while trying to not laugh too hard. We didn't want to hurt her feelings, after all.]

Speaking of Zombies

Today's poem is a Zombie Haiku, again shared by The Fabulous Joan. (Joan is great with the pithy haikus). She is also quick to point out repeats, so in the spirit of full disclosure I did share this earlier this year also in conjunction with Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

The book and the poem just want to be together. Who am I to stop them?

Happy Things that are probably Wrong


I know it's sick and wrong. Which must be why I get fits of giggles every time I see it. The giggles may have more to do with the line "with Ultra-violent zombie mayhem". How can you not laugh at that line when used in conjunction with Pride and Prejudice?
Tragically, I don't own it.
Yet.
But I will. And I will put it right next to Miss Austen's other works on my bookshelf by the fire place where it belongs.

Zombie Haiku

Sent to me by the awesome and amazing Joan. Yet another one of the reasons why I want to be just like her when I have teenage kids.

Oh. Wait.

Does poetry get better than this?!

Oh, yeah. And Happy New Year!
