the great big red box

a HUGE parcel appeared on our doorstep today.  it was a great big red box. i was so very sure that it was going to be for me but it turned out to be for daddy. 

why doesn’t anyone send me parcels????

mummy carried the great big red box up the stairs and put it on the dining room table. and then she left it there!

me and msfs asked her if she was going to open it and she said no because it was daddy’s parcel and daddy could open it when he got home.

oh multiplying aubergines! how could she say that? didn’t she want to know what was inside? wasn’t she just an insy winsy bit curious??

but instead she disappeared off to the kitchen and started listening to music. she was listening to that scary oolah music. you know, the a million and one aliens coming from mars and then they take over the earth and then there’s no more summer or winter or spring. it’s all just autumn. forever.

so we had to wait until daddy got home. he was soooo long. i wondered if he would ever get home. but he did eventually and we raced to tell him about the parcel. annoyingly all he said was “ok, thanks” and then he turned to mummy and gave her a hug and then mummy hugged daddy back and this went on for ever such a long time. i thought they would never stop! but eventually daddy let go of mummy and picked up the great big red box and read the writing on the top.

it turned out that it was a box of freebies from the local supermarket. they were sending free stuff to some of their loyal customers and daddy got some! i was so very excited. i was so very sure that there would be chocolate mice in the box and that daddy would give them to me because daddy knows how much I love chocolate mice.

but there weren’t any! not even one. there was some stinking hand cream stuff, a crummy bag of chippies and three small bottles of drink. daddy said that me and msfs could share a bottle of soda but i didn’t want any. i wanted chocolate mice.

oh sizzling aubergines, why were there no chocolate mice?

why is life so unfair?
