Hosted by Mia and Jessica at Nisaba Be Praised
The paragraph I started with, from Lily Koppel's The Astronaut Wives Club, is as follows:
The seven wives hosted their ghostwriters at their homes and let them tag along as they went about their daily routines. The girls found their real selves disappearing behind Life's depiction of what it meant to be not only the perfect fifties housewife, but the perfect astronaut's wife, molded like the popular Barbie doll that had first appeared on store shelves that spring.
I asked my fourteen-year-old son for a number, a plural noun, another plural noun, a place, the name of a magazine, a noun, an adjective, another noun, a children's toy, and a season. After plugging it all in, we ended up with this:
The 43 chocolate bars hosted their ghostwriters at their recreation centers and let them tag along as they went about their daily routines. The knee braces found their real selves disappearing behind ESPN Magazine's depiction of what it meant to be not only the perfect fifties spork, but the thorny nose's wife, molded like the popular model train that had first appear on store shelves that spring.
We were mildly amused.
