HAPPY DEEPAVALI FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS!
#286
Me: <skimming school email not too long ago> Darling, there’s a writing competition for 100 words on the title “My Garden, My Friend.” I think you should totally try that!
Rockstar: <mild panic> What? What?? Nooooooo!
Me: (??!!) What are you talking about, you write stories for Daddy all the time.
Rockstar: I couldn’t do that! 100 WORDS! Noooooo!
Me: O…..kay, I might have approached that wrong. It’s a competition. There might be some kind of prize at the end of that.
Rockstar: I could do with a prize.
Me: It was all in the delivery, wasn’t it? I should’ve packaged that better?
Rockstar: Yeah. I’m not even 6 Mum, come on. 100 words sounds scary.
Me: Fine, can’t argue with that.
(I figure if he really does attempt something then I’ll fork out some kind of prize for him, Lego or something)
Not to be outdone….
Little Miss: Buh-bble.
Me: That’s actually a light, darling, but yes it looks a bit like a bubble.
Little Miss: Buh-bble.
Me: Light.
Little Miss: Buh-bble.
Me: Light.
<pause>
Little Miss: Light-bble.
Me: Fine, can’t argue with that either.
And here now The Rockstars’ Official Halloween pic this year, taken at the end of all the festivities and before they got shipped off to late night baths. Y’know, because I haven’t managed to write much this weekend with the helper off and Kings working…
I like his reasoning that he is not even 6 so 100 words essay sounds scary.
Both of them look so happy in the photo especially Miss Rockstar. Must have been a very fun Halloween party,
She is a party animal. Rockstar knew exactly where we were going that night, i.e. to his school Halloween bash, and she didn’t – and she was the one really bouncing off the car walls on the way there, super excited.
Yeah he said 100 words seems like a lot so I showed him his latest story for the dad which was easily about there too…
