Right everyone, meet the new Piglet! As I posted 2 months ago, we had a lost piglet situation. This had a big impact as it was a toy which was played with so frequently. In the meantime, according to SE, the ghost of Piglet now resides in this white creature. It's a Moomin which hubby bought from his trip to Hokkaido where this creature (created in Finland as characters in books and comics) is popular. So now this Moomin talks and acts exactly like the old Piglet. Except every so often it will burst into loud wails that it misses its old body.
Now we have 'the day that Piglet died' in our history. I checked online for a replacement - couldn't find any in that same Easter bunny costume, only those in a bee costume. Offered to buy it for SE but Moomin-Piglet vehemently protested. And indignantly reported to JE that 'Mama wanted to buy.... a FAKE PIG!!'. Hahaha.
So now we have this pig which looks nothing like a pig.
This is Piglet's new body
It's squishy!
Face hug... mmmmm
SE is continuing to build it up. It has a specific voice, its own cadence and manner of speaking, likes and dislikes. It calls JE 'Potato' and SE 'duck'. Like it will say, goodbye Potato... goodbye Duck...
JE's young transporter mates noticed this little white creature which comes down (carried and operated by SE) to wave goodbye every morning, and would be peering out the car windows trying to figure out what it was. Among their guesses - a unicorn, koala, lion. One day an observant girl excitedly pointed out that the Moomin has a tail and concluded it was a monkey. The next morning Piglet decided to hide its tail to confuse them. JE is maintaining her cool older-kid Standard 6 persona and not bothering to enlighten them.
JE looks happy with the new toy and she has a very imaginative mind. As long as she is happy, it doesn't matter how the toy looks like.
ReplyDeleteI guess Nancy means SE.
DeleteHaha yes.
DeleteOh....sort of reincarnation of piglet!
ReplyDeleteExactly! Just that when this new piglet was 'activated', we thought the original would be found soon.
DeleteSE is so creative. I hope SE will draw these events into comics to keep. Then she can read these stories whenever she wants to. I know about this moomins cartoon but don't know what they are. Just found from online that they are supposed to be trolls. JE is so cool, not bothered at all by the questions of her transporter's mates. Good la, now you don't have to search for a replacement for piglets but you need to live with piglet ghost 👻 hahahahaha. So entertaining. 😄
ReplyDeleteI thought of ordering the bumblebee piglet to surprise her, but since this one has totally embraced its role, better not bother haha.
DeleteYa, no need to replace already but better put on a tracker on this one in case it goes off wandering like the original piglet. 😄
DeleteHaha funny. Good idea.
