News Flash #5: In the House of the Mouse

-

 

Good morning folks, this is Sima Simpson, the worlds number one best reporter, and I’m here today to interview Mickey of the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

Me: So, good morning Mickey.

Mickey: Hiya Sima.

Me: I’ll start with my first question: We appear to be standing in an empty field, but you said the clubhouse is right here. Are you delirious?

Mickey: Oh, but of course! We need to say the magic words. Meeska, Mooska, Mickey Mouse!

Me: Everyone needs a password that sounds like their name.

Mickey: Why thank you!

Me: Anyway, nothing happened.

Mickey: Oh yes! I nearly forgot! You need to say it with me.

Me: Um… All right then. Meeska, Mooska, Mickey Mouse.

There is an elaborate flash, and the clubhouse begins to materialize before my very eyes.

Disembodied voice: Role call! Donald! Daisy! Goofy! Pluto! Minnie! Mickey!

Mickey: Here!

Me: Impressive. But where is everyone?

Mickey: Hmm. They appear to be a little behind schedule. Ah well, we can start without them.

Mickey sits in an armchair and indicates that I should sit in the one opposite him.

Me: Ok, my first question for you is: Do you ever change your clothes?

Mickey: Oh, yeah! I have my mechanic outfit, and my racing costume, and my exercise clothes, and my spacesuit, and my…

Me: Yes, that’s nice, but on a regular daily basis, do you change out of your red pants and yellow shoes?

Mickey: Why would I do that? It’s my signature style!

Me: Well, for one, its unhygienic…

Never mind. Next question: What breed is Pluto?

Mickey: Oh yes Pluto! He’s a good pal.

Me: Bu what breed is he?

Mickey: Pluto is a dog.

Me: But what type?

Mickey: A good type.

Me: No, I mean like what kind?

Mickey: Yeah, Pluto is very kind.

Me: But-

Suddenly, I’m interrupted by the doorbell ringing.

Mickey: Hot Dog, that must be my friends!

Goofy: Well, hiya Mickey!

Daisy: Who’s this?

Mickey: This is Sima, and she’s doing an interview about me!

Donald: Why are you interviewing Mickey? Why not me?

Goofy: Gee, well I think that that’s amazing Mickey!

Daisy and Minnie: Uh huh!

Minnie: Good luck Mickey!

Pluto: Arf, Arf!

Mickey: Aww, thanks guys!

Me: Oh right, that reminds of my last question before I rap up the interview. Ok Mickey, here it is: Are you and Minnie dating?

Daisy: Ooohh, Minnie and I found this great recipe for Delicious Date Pie.

Me: No, I said-

Minnie giggles and pulls a lever on the wall, and the whole room flips. Just like that, we were standing in the clubhouse kitchen.

Me: Look, I think you misunderstood my question-

Minnie: Oh my!

Daisy: We’re all out of dates!

Goofy: We can’t make Delicious Date Pie without dates!

Uh Oh. I can see where this is going, and I was not in the mood for a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Style adventure. I came here for an interview, not a road trip with the Mickey Mouse Gang.  

Me: How about we use, I dunno, blueberries instead? And in the meantime, we can get back to the inter-

Mickey: We need to go to the Daggle Date Desert and get dates for the Delicious Date Pie!

Me: Can’t we just go to the grocery store?

Mickey: We might need supplies for the trip! everyone say “Tootles”!

Me: Oh no.

At that moment, Mickey burst into song. I took this as an opportunity to make my escape.

An interview with Mickey was a horrible idea, and I have only myself to blame.

Next time I’ll do Doc Mcstuffins.

This is Sima Simpson, the worlds number one best reporter, signing off.

They’re little creatures that get in your head, and whisper in your ears, and make your brain go fuzzy. You seem to be in my head, and you’re whispering in my ear. Are you a nargle? Hat: I- Weren’t you listening to the song I spent the entire of last year writing? I’m a magical hat that looks into your head and sorts you into a house. I am not a nargle. Luna: Oh yes, it was quite lovely. Hat: *Surprised* Really? Thank you. No ones ever complimented my songs before. They’re usually to eager to get on with the feast to notice. Luna: People don’t pay much attention to me either. Hat: Well, it seems we have quite a bit in common now, don’t we? I...

I'm Wishing

    I’m wishing for beauty, I’m wishing for wealth, I’m wishing for peace,   and I’m wishing for health.   I’m wishing for games, I’m wishing for fun,   I’m wishing for shine,   and I’m wishing for sun.   I’m wishing for clouds, I’m wishing for showers, I’m wishing for lush grass,   and I’m wishing for flowers. I’m wishing for family, I’m wishing for friends, I’m wishing for the good times The fine weather sends.   I’ve wished for quite a lot of things, some old and others new. But now that I’m done wishing, I want them to come true.  For more great poems, go to:    https://hadassaharrel.wixsite.com/hadassaswritingblog hadassaharrel.com

A Word About Time

-

        Dear Diary, Today, I was thinking about the strange concept of time. I mean, what is it? It was really bugging me, so I came up with several things to what time is. 60 seconds is a minute. That’s time. 60 minutes is an hour. That’s time. 24 hours is a day. That’s time. The herb in you spice cupboard. That’s thyme. Time ticks. Time tocks. Time flies. Time runs out. Time has many uses. It can be used for doing something or doing nothing. Things can be done in time and on time. Time can be wasted, raced against, given, taken, saved, lost, and spent. Things tend to go faster when there is very little time and will sometimes slowdown when there’s time aplenty. And thyme also tastes good in food. So… What is time? Sincerely, Sima
