I am trying to rack my brain here as to what to write. I could whitewash the truth and tell you I’m on an adventure, searching for the lost sea unicorn. No, wait! It’s whitewashing the truth. Whitewashing the truth. I’m not even getting the prompts right.
There’s Martin Luther King Jr., but no Martin Luther King to look up. There’s a Martin Luther.
To remember the difference between there and their; I like to think there goes with here. It’s here and there. It’s neither here nor there.
Their just belongs to someone. Is this towel yours? No it’s theirs; the couple sitting next to us!
Like I said, I am totally sucking at this week’s prompts….I don’t know why I’m stumbling, but I am….
I think Lynn submitted the picture…And I have no idea with the rest. To tell the truth, every time I hear whitewash, I think of Tom Sawyer…
