Five little monkeys jumping on the bed. One fell off and bumped his head. Mommy called the doctor and the doctor said "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

Or it's this song!

Five bears in the bed and the little one said 'Roll over, roll over'
They all roll over and one fell out; hit the floor and gave a shout
'Please remember to tie a knot in your pajamas'
Single beds are only made for 1, 2, 3, 4...

I know you all loved the song... if you want anymore, I remember quite a few from working at Akela's World Cub Scout Camp! =)

Well, it took a me a little while and I finally finished my story for the challange.  I've read most of the ones ya'll have posted and I admit I had some challanges in coming up with ideas that hadn't already been viewed.  I hope this works, I wound up taking a new twist to the challange and added three pictures that I based my story on.  I made it like Kevin was putting together a scrapbook and I still managed to use three guy's perspectives on how they got into the bed.  LOL!  So, I hope this works!

Thank you!   ;D  This was a lot of fun.  I'll definitely be trying another challange next month.

While your challenge story was a good effort, I think it would've been more of a challenge for you if you'd tried to follow the actual rules. I'm not saying your story sucked, just that it is really a lot more fun to write a story by trying to follow Mare's original rules, rather than making up your own. You know, if you really wanted to make up your challenge, you're more than welcome to do that as well in a separate thread. :)

No, I agree with you on that one.  I think it would've been easier for me to stick to the rules a little more had I done the challange earlier.  I was having trouble not repeating ideas that others had already written.  The pictures acutally came later after I'd written the story.  I was writing what was coming to my mind, which were actual pictures I remember seeing.  I guess I was just trying to get into the guy's head maybe a little too much.  In any case, I'm going to be more careful to what I write in the challanges.  This was definitely a concern I had when writing it.

It's not hard to be original without taking other people's ideas, you just need to think outside the box a little more.

I agree with Dee. I've written plenty of the challenge stories at the end of the month, and I really think if you put some effort into it, it's not hard to come up with something different.  Writing stories is all about creativity and thinking outside the box, and I think most of us have done pretty well with that while following the rules. It's not hard.
