I posted this photo on Facebook and offered a 1oz tube of Oxyfresh Pet Gel to the top 2 captions (by popular vote of a panel of 15 judges). It was much, much harder than I expected! I loved them all! In fact, I will post all the submissions at the bottom so you can enjoy them, too.
We finally arrived at two winners, a runner up and four honorable mentions. And still I feel like there were really good captions excluded!
Winners:
- I told you your costume from last year was too small! (Em Jay W)
- That’s what you get for trying at the wrong end. (Delores Barnes)
Runner up:
- Duz dis punkin make mah butt look big? (Susan M. Baker)
Honorable mentions:
- Hep! Hep! Mah doze is relly tuck init!! (Joan Scheer)
- Take out all the seeds, she says … does she say how to take out your nose? No! (Una Galega)
- There’s GOT to be MORE in here somewhere!! And it’s all mine! (Lisa Ann Hellwig Kyriacos)
- Well, don’t take it too hard. I’ve done a lot of stupid things in my life, too. (Debbie Polhill Saunders)
