The words: beautiful, adventurous, willow, brilliant, question
Here's my entry:
My beautiful, unpredictable little sister was sitting cross-legged near the edge of the garden when a pressing question popped into her five-year-old head.
"I wonder what it would feel like if I put this pussy willow bud in my nose?"
"Kara. No. It's not a good..."
"Ooooooh, it's soft. It tickles!" she giggled. "Uh oh."
Nanny extracted Kara's "bloody brilliant idea" with an eyebrow tweezer then shooed us back outside, annoyed at having to tend to our "foolishness" while her favorite soap opera was on.
Kara was always the more adventurous of the two of us, although I like to believe I was better at foreseeing consequences.
