Mad Day [CLOSED]
"You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret all the best people are."
― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
Welcome to Mad Day! Where all bonkers invite you to a celebratory Mad Hatter Day Tea Party...
What does it mean?
"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?"
― Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass

We have prepared for you a variety of prompt to serve with your tea. Which flavour will you choose?
The Aviator
By VR
One day you find an old leather aviator's hat complete with goggles in a thrift store. Delighted, you quickly buy it without trying it on. Later that night in your room, you try it on and slip the goggles over your eyes. You feel a jolt, and suddenly you're navigating life through the eyes of the person who owned the hat and goggles before you. What kind of life is it?

The Honk
By justwriteit
"Daddy, are people good?" Asks your 5-year-old offspring for the sixth time in row.
"Yes," you exhale, trying not to shout – you've been stuck in the static for an hour now.
"Than why did they invent honker?" Asks your kid again, gazing at you inquisitively.
You're taken aback: "What?!"
"If people are good, why did they invent something just to tell someone that they are stupid or done something wrong?"
"Well," you said and laughed at such a crazy question. "You know what happened when the Mad Hatter broke paprika to hear better? It all started on that day..."
Continue the story to explain to your child why the Mad Hatter invented a honker.
