Baby Puppy and I were on a quest. A Magi Quest, to be specific.
Magi Quest is a computer game involving wands, riddles, and quests. There are wizards. There are fairies. And, there lots and lots of stairs to climb. Eight flights. Repeatedly.
My thighs have still not forgiven me.
Anyway, to become a Master Magi, Baby Puppy (and me) undertook an arduous quest to rescue Ursa Major's amulet and the five sacred stones from Ur-Anus or some such nonsense. Here is the thrilling conclusion, courtesy of a computer glitch:
Oh, no! I did not climb all of those stairs for nothing! I used the last of my middle-aged strength to drag my aching body to the portal. Then, I held up a long line of children (and their equally exasperated parents) and waved that wand with desperate enthusiasm until that bear gave up the goods.
Baby Puppy is now a Master Magi.
And, I can never show my face in Grapevine, Texas again!

aaaah, but the stories you get to tell are worth it!
Congrats, Baby Puppy! And congrats to Mama Zen for going on such an adventure (and one that Baby Puppy will always remember - as will your super toned thighs! ;) )
ha!!!
Congrats to Baby Puppy and to you for sticking to it!
The things we do for our children...
I'd have to echo the sentiment expressed at the end of the video. But I understand the "Oh hell no!" that comes with getting shafted by a magic wand (get it? wand? shaft? nevermind. Hey, Cat started it with that "stick to it" crack.)
But where do the stairs come in? And do we get to see the results of the workout (he leered)?
And if Grapevine, TX has banned you, then I'd say Grapevine, TX just became a much poorer place.
Imbeciles.
Your welcome. And congratulations.
see what being a superhero can do... you were able to "drag your aching" carcass through it all!
congrats!
what every parent should do - facilitate the ascension of their offspring to "Master Magi" all can think is ... "Do me next" :)
MZ - Holy crap, that scared the hell out of me until I realized it was your tv!
LOL
Peace,
- Neo
Oh, the things we do for love!
You're WTF will bring me joy all day long!
What a fun Mama you are! Grapevine, Texas is not too far from me. I'm in East Texas.
I'm in awe of you for doing that. Congrats!
This reminds me of a classic headline in the now-defunct Weekly World News..."Couple Flees Talking Bear."
"Man Explodes On Operating Table" was another good one.
Loved the wtf. LOL.
This looks like a lot more than your average computer game. More fun, I think. Except for the wand waving thing at the end and the number of stairs.
Congratulations to Baby Puppy and sit back and kick up your heels, MZ! You well deserve it!
Oh My! The things we do for our kids!
Wow! A Master Magi. Congratulations to her.
OK, I know I live in the middle of nowhere and we barely have electricity but really, that's just weird.
Was that a wtf there? Such magnificent punctuation!
Boy you get around! Super-mom indeed!
Congrats to Baby Puppy!
You got a cool blog in here. I really enjoyed being here. :)
THat is strange. Please dont' let Baby Puppy tell my kids about it. I'm sure they'd have me doing the same thing!
I sat at a lot of soccer games, tennis matches and plays, but never did 8 flights of stairs for my kids.
You are amazing! Good job
Tsk Tsk Tsk....You kiss people with that mouth?
We should be so lucky...:-)
If I could see the game on my computer it would help!
I'm just wondering about the super toned thighs, the magic wand and the stairs.
Me thinks that my imagination may be more interesting than the actual game? :D
