How To Fend Off An Unwanted Kiss From Relatives

This is the title of the Mad Lib we completed this morning while sitting around the living room drinking coffee. My son got the "MAD LIBS Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: HOLIDAYS" edition in his stocking from Santa, so we thought we'd have a little fun with it. Here is a story about how to fend off an unwanted kiss from relatives:

When running from the would-be kissing relative, you don't want to be rude. Employ these tactics to remain kiss free!


  • Carry a present, a chicken, or a child in front of you as you enter.
  • Extend your free toe in a wide arc and move into the moose position.
  • Carry a glass of coffee or a liver at all times, and poorly take a sip or a bite as Jennifer approaches.
  • Avoid standing under bushes - you are supposed to be kissed while underneath!
  • Sneeze, drive, or scratch your elbow just as the person moves closer - that should do the trick!

Another good item for the easily amused (such as myself) is magnetic poetry! From Santa, I received the version that has famous movie quotes. For fun, you can combine quotes like "I love the smell of Napalm in the morning" with "Get your stinking hands off me, you damn dirty ape!" to come up with this gem pictured below:

Z loves Mad Libs too. In fact, when he was younger, he learned nouns, adverbs, verbs, adjectives, etc. from these neat little books. Now he likes to scan and save the pages, so he can redo them, or have family and friends fill in their words. I'll have to look for the Worst Case Scenario version to put in his Easter basket.
I've seen those magnetic message things in various versions. I like the movie one that you got. We could have some serious fun with those on our fridge. I'll have to ask Santa for a set next year! ;)

TSHS - The magnetic poetry is great. It has some movie quotes that I've never heard of before, so I'll have to look them up. :-)
