This week’s prompt comes straight from Mama Kat, who runs an awesome website over at www.mamakatslosinit.com. Every Thursday, she hosts a Writer’s Workshop and offers weekly prompts to inspire creativity. She then asks her readers to stop back at her site, post a link to your prompt-inspired article, and show some “comment love,” as she would call it. It’s a wonderful contribution to the Blog-O-Sphere, and it has certainly caught on like wildfire. You’ll be hearing more about Mama Kat later in the week in my What the #FF?!? Friday feature.
So, without further delay, I present to you the original prompt from Mama’s website…
10 Reasons Why I Could Never Be Friends With…(fill in the blank)
…AND, my answer….
10 Reasons Why I Could Never Be Friends with A Snowman
10.) I’m all for originality and non-conformity, but I could never be a nudist. Snowmen brazenly stand in public, with nothing but a corn cob pipe and some coal buttons to cover their naughty parts. At least Frosty sported a hat, but his “igloo” at the “South Pole” was still in plain sight, for all to see.

9.) I refuse to go through any type of plastic surgery, while snowmen deem vegetables to be superior upgrades to their own noses. Really, if you can’t love who you are, who can you love?

8.) And speaking of loving who you are, snowmen are always losing/gaining weight! They’re never satisfied of their appearance, and are always struggling to change it. Sure, I’m all for staying healthy through exercise and proper nutrition, but you don’t need to change your appearance to appease someone! Come February, they all start to look a little thinner…I say they’re just trying to shape up for bikini season.
