Happy Friday to all who are reading this; even if you’re not reading it on Friday. This particular Happy Friday was the result of a visit from our grandsons several moogles ago; and during their visit I implored them to drum up some Happy Friday Fodder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI’m looking for a story suggestion… do either of you have a title for a story??\u201d I asked. Ollie thought a minute, and replied, \u201c How about Friggley’s Favorite game?\u201d \u201cFriggley, huh?\u201d I answered. \u201cYeah! Friggley,\u201d Ollie said with a big smile. \u201cOK…\u201d I replied, and then started wondering what the heck to write. Anyway here goes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Friggley’s Favorite Game<\/p>\n\n\n\n
IT was a dark and stormy\nafternoon, just before breakfast while the crinkly worm windows\nwiggled wildly while whining with whistles. Friggley and Foofle, his\npet snick-a-boo were just rolling out of the linen closet when they\nheard a knock at the back door. It was his friends, Blibber and\nZork, and they were wiggling their eyebrows very fluffy-like trying\nto send eyebrow code to Friggley. Friggley opened the door to let\nthem in, while Foofle danced around on his oversized nostrils in a\nmost jovial manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zork and Blibber laughed\nmost iggidy at Foofle, then sat down and helped themselves to all the\nnice breakfast food that had been sitting on the table for at least\n23 seconds. \u201cMmmm sure glad you’re our friend and don’t mind us\nhelping ourselves,\u201d Zork said. \u201cThese are the best clamshell\ncupcakes I’ve had all year!!\u201d \u201cGlad you like them,\u201d Friggley\nsnorted. \u201cI found them on the road during The Great Chainsaw\nFestival. They keep really well in the freezer. You just take them\nout and yell at them in German and they’re ready to eat!!\u201d \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blibber smiled at his two\nfriends and slipped away to the fridge. He came back with the\nmustard; popped the top, squeezed the bottle, and started writing his\nname on one of the cupcakes. \u201cThis is what I do before I try to\nsell these on e-bay,\u201d he chortled. \u201cPeople like personalized\nbanana lumps that can be reused as holiday decorations. I’m thinking\nI can sell about 43 of these every day for the next 6 weeks and I\nwon’t have to ride that broken tricycle to school anymore. No no…\nI’ll be traveling in style. Wait till every one sees my brand new\nantique log wagon!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Friggley was grinning from ear to nose. He always enjoys his friends’ silly ways. Foofle seemed pretty happy also, as he was waggling all 7 of his saberteeth during Zork and Blibbler’s antics. \u201cHey, would you guys like something to drink? I know those clamshell cupcakes are pretty crunchy,\u201d he said. \u201cSure!!\u201d Blibbler and Zork said in unison. \u201cWhatchya got??\u201d \u201cWell,\u201d Friggley continued, \u201cwe have milk… it’s expired but it doesn’t have much mold on it. We have Mountain Dew… oh, and we have Jabba Jabba Jellyfish Juice.\u201d \u201cYUCKKK!!!\u201d Zork and Blibber exclaimed. Then Zork said, \u201cOooohhh gross!! I’ll have the Jabba Jabba Jellyfish Juice!!\u201d Blibber announced, \u201cI’ll have the milk… you got a mold scraper??\u201d \u201cSure do,\u201d answered Friggley. \u201cI know it’s disgusting but I’m gonna have the Mountain Dew,\u201d Friggley went on. \u201cYou guys OK with that??\u201d Again in unison, Zork and Blibbler said, \u201cYep!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They all guzzled down their\ndrinks while watching each other make very funny faces. Then\nFriggley said, \u201cHey, you guys wanna play my favorite game?\u201d Both\nZork and Blibber nodded their heads with enthusiasm. \u201cCool,\u201d\nsaid Friggley. \u201cWanna play checkers? Of course I like chess\nalmost as much\u201d \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zork and Blibber tilted\ntheir heads in wonder. \u201cHuh??\u201d they said. \u201cChess??\u201d \nqueried Zork. \u201cCheckers??\u201d asked Blibber. \u201cNever heard of\nthem…\u201d they said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh.\u201d Said Friggley, \n\u201cOK never mind, let’s just watch some cartoons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So they spent the rest of\nthe afternoon burping strange odors from their magnificent beverages,\nand laughing at the likes of Little Lulu and Betty Boop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The End<\/p>\n\n\n\n
