Oh my, we had quite a calamity the other night.Our play, Peter Pan, started off beautifully. Peter, played superbly by Fred, flew in the nursery window of Wendy Darling with amazing grace. They then hooked me up to a swingy-thingy (they did not forewarn me at all) and I, being a trooper, flew off with Peter to Never-Never Land. It was lovely.
We flew to the island, played with the natives, saved Tiger-Lily (played by Penny) and fought with the pirates.
It wasn’t until Peter came to rescue me on the pirate ship that things went awry. Peter and Captain Hook (Charlie) were to have their final all-out sword fight, as I was about to walk the plank. This is where some pixie dust would’ve come in handy.
As Peter swooped in, his swingy-thingy caught the stage curtain. Peter, dragging the stage curtain behind, came crashing down, right into Hook, right into me. I fell off the plank, then the side of the pirate ship gave way and Peter and Hook fell off, landing on top of our clock bellied crocodile, and crushed it. Tinker Bell (Penny) somehow managed to stay aboard the ship, which amazed us since she was laughing so hard she could barely stand up. The three of us didn’t think it was so funny. However, the cuddle thought it was hilarious.
And it was. So we all started laughing.
Everyone survived the ordeal, well not the crocodile, but Fred did sprain his ankle some. He is staying off it, so hopefully it will heal fast.
We may rethink our next play, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and stay on solid ground for a while.
But what’s the fun in that!
Hugs,
Miss Chloe
