Question of the Month

#Question of the Month: a #bloghop to think about. No. 17- When was your first kiss?

A little while ago, Michael D’Agostino, of A Life Examined, brought up the idea of a new blog hop called Question of the Month. He thinks blog readers would like to know a little more about us, the bloggers. So we’re all gathering to show you guys who we are by taking part in the Question of the Month blog hop. On the first Monday of each month, we answer the question that gets posted here.

This month’s question is: “When was your first kiss?”

I don’t think the little boy I kissed in daycare when I was two counts. Besides, I didn’t even like boys then. I probably just did it to make him mad… I barely remember it.

However, I do remember kissing a boy when I was either 11 or 12, the exact age is blurry. He was my first real boyfriend. We even went on dates. Our parents dropped us off at the mall in a group of friends and picked us up an hour later (I’m sure they lurked around nearby.). As much as I got in trouble for being too smart for my own good and beating up bullies, it turns out he really was trouble. Needless to say, the relationship didn’t last long. As for the details of the kiss, my lips are sealed.

If you want to know the details, all I can say is, “Gross; we were just kids.”

Please visit the other participants in this hop and even join in if you’d like. I’m curious to see how many others really opened up on this, unlike me.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post. If you like it let me know and share it with others. See you next time, Toi Thomas. #thetoiboxofwords

I want to support teachers!

Next spring, 2017, I want to use my new children’s books to lighten a teacher’s load. Aside from the fact that many teachers are underpaid and overworked, most of them pay out-of-pocket to supply their classrooms with basic materials. I know it’s not a lot, but if I can help just one, maybe two, teachers, I know I’ll make a difference in the education of many students.

I’m offering a giveaway; a chance to win 1 of 2 CASH prizes for a teacher/classroom of your choice. I will split 10% of my proceeds from November 1 – December 31 and give it to two deserving teachers based on participant input.

This is a great opportunity for teachers to send supporters, on their behalf, to this special event and giveaway.

The more books I sell, the greater the pot will be for two deserving teachers. $2.99 ebooks and $9.99 paperbacks.

No purchase is actually required to enter the contest. Open worldwide; the winner must be able to accept PayPal cash or an Amazon gift card (USD). This event and giveaway is sponsored by Toi Thomas and is in no way sponsored or endorsed by any other third party.
