A Rest?
Today when I woke up I decided we should stay home. Elliott said yes, but Mom wanted to see the market. We turned on the tv for a while, then Mom BEGGED US to go to the market. We finally said yes but when we got there they were packing up! We found a shoe stand and Mom got a nice little pair of shoes that she could actually walk in. Elliott wanted some ice cream but they didn't have any there. We found a book store and went inside. In the back they had kids' books. I flipped through the books in French and I could understand pretty well, because they had good pictures. Then Mom found the Asterix comics! I was so happy I got two books! Elliott got a little baby book called "Vroum! Vehicules!" Mom suggested we go down a street we haven't gone down before. At first it was pretty boring, but then we found a patisserie and a toy store. I was excited when I saw the toy store, because I thought maybe there would be some Gooby Guys in there. There weren't, but there were other cool things like stuffed dragons, pink swords, plastic animals etc.etc. We walked back up our street to go to the grocery store to get pizza supplies. We went back up in our apartment and while Mom made pizza we turned the tv back on. Then it started raining for a while and after it ended, mom said "Pizza's ready!" Then she went outside and saw a RAINBOW!!! She called us out and it was only half of one, but as we stood there longer it kept getting bigger and bigger and BIGGER! Then we saw a faint shadow of ANOTHER rainbow! a DOUBLE! As they started to fade away I went back inside and found 3 plates of pizza on the table. I sat down and started to eat and then Elliott's voice floated to me "Mom when will the pizza be ready?" Then I said "ELLIOTT! I've started eating minutes ago!" We all went to the kitchen and ate dinner.

What in the world is a Gooby Guy? I googled it and no results. I just found some kids movie from last year - Gooby.
ReplyDeleteI'm not 100% sure what it was, but it was a toy that some peddler was trying to sell us while in line for the Eiffel Tower. We think it was a squishy-toy version of BarbaPapa which is a French character that we first found in a book in the Amsterdam Zoo. He looks like a big pink blob of cotton candy and I think he is a shape shifter as well as his wife and children who are all different colors. "Gooby Guy" is just what Maya called it, because we didn't really know what it was.
