Writing Prompt: Funny City Names
Quick quiz! Can you guess what the following names are?
Did you guess what they are names of? Well, believe it or not, they are all names of U.S. cities or townships. (Actually, you should believe it because it's true!). Which brings me to today's Write On Writing Prompt by Addison:

You never know; maybe one day, you'll see your city name on a map like the wacky list above. And in case you were wondering, here are the city/state match-ups:
- Pee Pee, Ohio
- Gross, Kansas
- Monkey's Eyebrow, Kentucky
- Boring, Maryland
- Cow Springs, Arizona
- Fluffy Landing, Florida
- Last Chance, Colorado
