Mud Problem

"This one?", said Rainbow.

"Yes, that one.", said Posie, "That's my favorite sweater."

"Oh no!", Rainbow exclaimed as she fell upon the sweater. This wouldn't have been so bad, if they weren't walking in their mud room, and the sweater hadn't spoolshed onto the mud.

The mud flew up and *PLOOSH* it hit Posie in the nose. Then Posie fell back and slid into Rainbow, who fell *KERPLOOSH* again onto the mud. This send a geyser of mud into the air, where it arced out of the apartment and onto the branch outside.

This wouldn't have been a big deal if swingy the monkey hadn't just jumped from a vine onto the branch, hitting it just on the mud spot.

"Oh no!", he screeched as he fell head over heels to the ground. THUD he went and then this scared a passing Elephant so badly that he elephant jumped!

Now when an elephant jumps, many things shake. And so fingers, ant and floppity hoppity bunny all fell. Fingers fell into a bowl of molasses! Ant fell onto a plate with cake on it! And do you know where the bunny landed?

Can you guess?

In the carrot field. It was very convenient. All three had very tasty lunches.

The End!

Welcome to the Forest!

This blog exists to collect a series of children's stories that I'm writing for my daughter Frannie.

Here's the story: Since she was about 3 I've told her these made up stories about a bunch of animals in the forest, they are, roughly in order of creation:

Squirrels:

Nutsy
Sutsy
Futsy
Klutsy


Cats:

Rainbow
Posie


Elephant the Elephant
Swingy the monkey
Flappy the bat.
Fingers the spider
Ant.
Floppity hopity bunny
Deedee and Neil and Hunter

And from the next door forest:

Mountain Lion
Bear

And the Cat whose house appears and disappears.

Most of the stories center around crazy messy disasters, with the funniest one to date being the visit to the fireworks, olive oil, flour, honey and candy store.
