I’m in the ‘home office’ updating a few things before I kick back for an early evening, but I’ve just overheard some very important news, from the neighbors’ kids, that I think is really worth taking in:
"We have to use our telepathic messaging powers, so the wizard doesn’t know that we’re switching ourselves from water dragons to fire dragons. . . "
No word yet on who, or where, this Wizard is, but I question the prudence in switching from a hydrating, forest-fire prevention dragon to one that could indirectly lay waste to half of Northern New Mexico with just a sneeze. Needless to say, neither those familiar with the wizarding arts are available for comment, nor are any large, winged reptiles.
(It is never a good idea to listen in to children’s make believe play talk, you’ll convince yourself they are psychopaths just waiting on their first murder spree)
No, they were outside in the yard, gathering around their trampoline, as these 5 - 10 year olds were wont to do.
I don’t know, but I will report that non-stop coverage of the breaking event was interrupted by a Saturday night reuben sandwich and an episode of Austin City LimIts. When reporters returned to the scene, dusk had fallen and the aforementioned kids were nowhere to be seen. Coverage will resume again arount 9:AM local from the ‘home office.’

Distracted by a delicious sammich? I"m a terrible news correspondent
These kids spend more time jumping on the trampoline, playing with Fisher-Price kitchen sets on the porch, and chasing each other around with pointy sticks. I doubt they’re of the D&D type just yet . . . Maybe in a couple of years.
This just in, KTRiP news crews will be setting up an on-scene satellite broadcast van in the next hour to keep an eye on developments as lead field correspondent–yours truly–grills up some hamburger patties for the week. Neighbor’s–and other neighborhood– children are now forming up around the aforementioned trampoline, about eight in total. Screeching at random intervals is occurring . . . Stay tuned for details!

I’m going to be grilling with ear protection this time.
Reminds me of overhearing my then 4 year old daughter playing with her cousin:
Cousin: “let’s play zombies, thats where there are zombies and everyone who gets bitten by a zombie gets turned into a zombie”
Daughter:“no lets play princess. That’s where there are princesses and everyone who gets bitten by a princess turns into a princess”
Well, after a brief steak-out in the afternoon (all of about 20 minutes), no new developments were to be had. The KTRiP news van packed up its lunch and went inside to continue some chores.
No, but I suspect some of the people in this town could be lizard people, including those kids.
Not yet, but I did see one of them late in the afternoon with a 2x4".
Not really. One seemed to be trying to vault himself over the safety net (ill advised), but just couldn’t get high enough.
Yeah, I think we’re wrapped up here though–no need to turn up any unnecessary heat on those kids. Thanks for watching, and remember to check your telepathic powers at least twice a year.
But they are not large and winged, are they? They would not use a trampolin if they were, I guess.
Perhaps they are even cold blooded! That would explain a lot.
