Storytime!

for Friday Fictioneers.

Are you dry yet Froggie?

Almost Pusskin, just a damp foot.

I couldn’t believe it when Peggy hung me by my tail, mee-ouch!

 

When Dyno saw us he laughed!

Old-timers can be so rude.

 

She should set us free soon.

I hope so, I want to play with our children.

Bunny next door has five kids, lucky devil.

We might be getting another one.

Yes, Peggy’s either put on weight or she’s preggers!

 

It’s Christmas soon, hopefully, we won’t get any more box-mates.

No, it’s crowded enough in there already.

Here comes Peggy, wake up Flip and Flap, it’s playtime!

    Hadn’t thought about how dark and crowded a toy box can be :). Good one, Keith.

    Ah, indeed, what do the toys say to one another, especially on wash day. Fun post!

    I’d love to hear more about toy shenanigans. Fun story.

    Very Toy Story rivalry going on here Keith. Love the dialogue and friendly banter. Thanks.

    Yes, toys get jealous and carried away. Love the humour.

      Indeed they do James, you should hear my Barbie!

    My teddy bear and I talked all the time. He knew all my secrets and never told a soul.

    Must be a big event coming for them all to have a bath, or perhaps the cat took a whiz on them. 🙂

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings December 16, 2022 / 12:38

      They could have been the stuffed toys from your story, Russell!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings December 16, 2022 / 12:32

      That’s really kind of you Danny, thanks so much.

    Unfortunately, more box-mates might be happening. It is almost Christmas after-all. Very cute dialogue and a lovely story, Keith! Happy holidays!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings December 16, 2022 / 12:28

      They are going to need a box extension! Sending happiness your way too, Brenda!

    Absolutely adorable, Keith. Every kid needs buddies like these!

    I got pet vibes from these toys like the puppy who gets so excited to play. Fun story.

  20. GHLearner's avatar GHLearner December 16, 2022 / 22:18

    I love how the toys like getting more kids to play with, a nice turn from kids getting more toys. A lovely and charming story.

    great take on the prompt. well done. 🙂

  22. Sandra's avatar Sandra December 17, 2022 / 11:41

    Ah, that’s sweet. I suppose old toys do dread the advent of new toys in the toybox.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings December 18, 2022 / 08:31

      Thanks, Sandra, youngsters can be a bit of a nuisance in a crowded environment!

    Just hanging out, shooting the sh*t…
    Fun stuff, Keith.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings December 18, 2022 / 08:29

      I couldn’t put it better myself, Dale! Cheers.
