Recently, Short-Stack has created his own little imaginary characters called "Memp-Mops," who occasionally go on fantastic adventures. Some of them these classic tales are so good that I couldn't miss an opportunity to capture one on paper with the hopes of giving it to him later, like after he's already grown, to show him what he created when he was only three years old.. I grabbed a pen and paper and just let him go. Most of the lines in the story are verbatim, but sometimes he rambled on and on and I had to summarize. When he was finished, I illustrated it.

Levi told me a beautiful story about Memp-Mops, which by my own interpretation, look suspiciously like baby chicks with antennas. |
|
They live on a rainbow "circle." |
|
One day they fell off. |
|
The rainbow circle came down.
|
|
But then it went away again. |
|
Then they gathered 'round and sang "The Memp-Mop Song." |
|
And built another rainbow circle. |
|
But the rings fell off and rolled away. |
|
So, the Memp-Mops went away, too. |
|
They went to where their dad worked to sing a high-pitched rendition of "The Wey-Wey Song." |
|
Then they went home and enjoyed their mom. |
|
They have three legs. |
|
SURPRISE! Another rainbow circle. |
|
Their dad came home to see their boo-boos, which turned out to be chocolate yogurt. |
|
Then Levi started jabbering about having three toes before becoming occupied by something else, so I guess that's it. THE END |
Ack! I love it! So cute :)
