Walking with a Story

We have been walking to my parents' place for a month.  I haven't lost any weight at all.  :(  But at least walking is good for health right?  Good for the kids too.  Of course they try to weasel out of it.  Like if we are running a bit late in the mornings, when it looks like it might rain, when someone complains of tummy pain.  But so far, we have made it every morning.

JE walks with our maid Jane.  

Walk walk

And SE walks with me. She tells a story ALL the way there.  It's about these inhabitants of the land of Ploop called Ploopians. They punch their hands together to get money.  They are made of jelly and are pastel colours except for the king who is rainbow-coloured. They eat extremely little - once a family of humans visited and brought a McDonalds Happy meal and that was enough for the entire country to share. The whole story has magic, portals, potions, two mascot ducks for the Ploopian kingdom.  The king has found himself a queen after a thorough selection process and they now have a baby called Green (I had been openly wondering whether this baby is lime or apple-flavoured but SE isn't telling).  So far they have ventured into the Kingdom of Fighting, the Kingdom of Cloud and a magical black hole.  The story has been running every day for a month and shows no signs of ending.

Then the ducks turned into EXTREMELY beautiful humans... blabla


And now with the EMCO starting tomorrow, we need to pause our walks.  Aisshh.

  1. Yes, it is good to walk! SE should write down her stories. If she illustrates it, can get her to publish it online. So Emco no walking, how to go to your parents' place? A few car trips per day?

    1. We figured the only way not to violate the SOPS was, to STAY there for EMCO. I myself will drive back to our condo to work.

    2. Yes, that is a brilliant idea! Very convenient and no risk of getting saman. Save time too. Who thought of this smart move?

  2. SE is definately a good story teller...She is so creative to come out with all sorts of characters and story line! Maybe u can consider to encourage her to pen down online or in essay form.

    1. Some parts are just normal kiddy stuff, some parts amuse or impress me. The story is very long one so must have patience haha.

  3. Funny that my comment went missing. Or was it because I forgot to click to publish the comment. It is nice to have SE keeping you entertained with her stories when walking to your parent's house. She may become a good story writer one day.
