1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open it to page 161.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Use what's actually next to you.


"I was sent to the House of Cages in Bangkok."

Forgotten Voices of the Second World War

One of the ways I torture my daughters (yes, that is my prerogative as a father!), is to scramble the lyrics to nursery rhymes. I usually can get all the right words in, but not necessarily in the proper order. One of the first I did this with was "Jack and Jill":

Jill and Jack
Up a hill went
A pail of water to fetch.

Down Jack fell
And his crown broke
And tumbling after came Jill.

Here's another:

Diddle hey diddle
The fiddle and the cat
Over the moon jumped the cow
Laughed the dog little such sport to see
And away with the dish ran the spoon.

My daughters HATE it when I do this, and protest loudly, which makes it that much more fun...
