Fortunately/unfortunately

Hey everyone, I like playing games, so I thought that I would start one that I sometimes play with the pre-schoolers at work. It's called "fortunately/ unfortunately". The aim of the game is tell and create a story, kind of like a serial, but the beginning of each sentence or paragraph has to be with words fortunately or unfortunately. The trick is that they have to alternate. It can be a creative, silly or just plain crazy. But the aim is to keep the story going. I'm going to start with.....

It was a bright sunny morning, so today I went to the beach. Unfortunately everyone else had the same idea as I did, but.....

Next person is to continue the story starting with fortunately.

Feel free to join in!

Unfortunately I tripped over a coconut on the way to the sea

Fortunately I was able to pick myself up, dust myself off and continue to walk ( slower) to the ocean ( I could hear some laughing in the background).

Unfortunately the laughter was coming from cockatoos mimicking the laughter of children, while I was looking up at them I felt something drop on my head,,ewe

Fortunately the poo came out ok, that's when I remembered that it brings luck to you if a bird poos on you so I went to the nearest news agency and bought a lotto ticket..

Fortunately there was a tap and I was able to wash my favourite white hat, and return it to its former beauty.

Fortunately, the crowd had cleared so i could enjoy a swim without looking out for beach balls or flying frisbees.
