Whoopie Cushion Wars ....

Over the last few weeks we have been in the midst of a Whoopie Cushion War in our house

I stupidly got Phantom a new Whoopie Cushion as part of her birthday present 

which has set in motion a chain of events that could be best described as magnificently juvenile

over the years we have accumulated quite the collection of these little pillows of mirth

and the arrival of a new one has sparked a war of epic proportions

 every time you sit down there has been a good chance you will be whoopied

from the car in the morning, to the sofa in the evening, to the dinner table and even bed

no where and no one is safe

It may be childish, but it is all sorts of fun and is nothing new

we have had these wars in the past although after the last one I declared no more

when the poor dog was reduced to a nervous wreck

due to being constantly whoopied and laughed at 

though can I say he is cruising through this campaign with no problem

and even seems to be quite enjoying the soft landings the cushions are providing him

 That aside I take full responsibility for the latest skirmish

I got Phantom a zombie survival kit as part of her birthday present a few weeks back

which included necessities such as

A Walking Dead t shirt, dog tags and fake mustache for camouflage,

 hand wipes because they zombies nasty smelly things

a Rubik's cube lip gloss so she could look both smart and cute at all times

a walking, light up eye ball to act as a distraction in case she needs to make a get away

and of course the whoopie cushion

because I couldn't think of anything funnier than a zombie sitting on a  whoopie cushion

It was a genius present in lots of ways even if it did ignite a resumption of the war

I am the most common victim, well next to the dog, and I was getting a touch tired of it all

until yesterday when I got to take the war to a whole new level

Aimee from Artsyville put me onto an app for my iphone called Whoopie Cushion 3000

and the odds were suddenly tipped in my favour

I shamelessly and mercilessly made use of this gem

 from the time Phantom got into the car at pick up to the tune of a Medium Fart

through to Sinus being greeting home from work with a chorus of noisy farts

I even threw in a couple of belches and a polite fart or two for good measure

it was payback of the highest order and for a brief moment I ruled the Whoopie Cushion Wars  

it is without a doubt the greatest 99 cents I have spent in a long time

Of course by this morning both husband and child have installed the app so my edge is gone

but it was glorious while it lasted

and I have the added bonus of having a light up walking eye ball on my desk to keep me amused while I work on the illustrated journal I have been keeping for

The Cuppa with Friends Project... 

things can't get much better than that on this Paint Party Friday can they....xx
