Imaginary Movers

As you know, we have Imagination Movers on the brain after the concert on Saturday.

And tonight during dinner conversation, Sis wanted to do a round-robin story. About the Movers.

So, I started the story about how the Movers needed to get to their concert but a big snowfall (okay, so Sis couldn't know it rarely snows in New Orleans) had trapped them in the warehouse. Go!

We go in a circle and Bud was next. Immediately, he said that Dave invented a machine to tunnel out of the snow. Which is a great guess in light of the tv show structure (though, he solved the "idea emergency" too soon).

And Sis went nuts. Mover Dave was her character! Bud couldn't talk about Dave. He had to talk about Smitty. And she would decide how Dave solved the problem. And only Dave got to have the answer.

Oh, heaven have mercy.

Bud acquiesced quickly (and wisely) and said something about Smitty first calling neighbor Nina for help, then asking Warehouse Mouse to help, and finally checking his journal for snow-removal ideas. Allowed to talk for Scott, I added that he looked through the snow with his wobble goggles only to discover that the whole neighborhood was snowed in. I added that Rich called the highway department but they didn't have Katy the snow plow (yes, I was mixing stories and media). And finally Sis solved the emergency by saying that Dave cleared the snow with an invention that punctured the snow with holes until the holes were big enough to climb through. And they all went to the concert happily ever after.

Whew. Emergency solved; crisis averted.
