Bus pass

[misterx]

Storm lost her city tranist bus pass the first day she got it. It
hasn't been an issue yet, because they've been punching her sister's
ticket for the both of them, but as of this morning that pass has only
two punches left. We were not enjoying the prospect of sixty bucks
worth of bus pass having vanished.

So I'm walking Storm into camp this morning, and I ask her if
she remembered having a bus pass.

"Yeah, but I lost it, and it's gone," she said with twinge of sadness.

"Do you think you lost it here at camp?" I asked, figuring I would
query the staff to see if they had found one.

"No, I put it in the pocket of my backpack, and now it's gone."

I'm carrying the backpack so without even looking I slide my hand into
the mesh side pocket and grab the first crumpled piece of paper I
find. I bring it up to look at it.

It's the bus pass.

"Storm, the bus pass has been right here in your backpack the whole
time, just where you left it."

"Yeah," she says, squishing up her face in disgust, "But it's wrinkled."

yanno I was thinking.. it would be really awesome if you printed out each of the storm entries and made a book for her for when she gets older.

I wish my dad wrote out all the silly shit I did as a kid. lol priceless memories. <3

Heh... yeah, they're all yucky and stuff.

If she keeps being her adorable self, I'll probably have enough for a book.

I am thinking that was a cover excuse because she was embarrassed, but she deadpanned it perfectly.

for all the stress it may have caused--the cuteness of that rationale seems worth it. and i can just imagine your reaction...

I think I involuntarily stopped walking.

I dreamed you published little books of these stories. I was ticked because I saw two of them in a store before you ever mentioned to us, your faithful LJ readers, that these collections were available in stores now. But I bought one anyway.

In the laughing at the "Ya but its wrinkled" part and
trying to envision the offical (tm) Dad grrrr face.

actually I was so dumbfounded I just stopped in my tracks while she continued on.

I have to admit, the bus pass was a lot nicer before it was wrinkled.
