I gave everyone the prompt 'a character finds a door that was not there yesterday,' and she flipped it to 'a door finds a character who was not there yesterday' before I finished my coffee. Kind of annoying, but it got me thinking that the best prompts are the ones that flip with one small change. What is a prompt you have seen someone turn totally upside down?
