Unicornio and Wow! Car Girls

This morning, it was neither myself nor Madeleine who was the casualty of a household accident.  This time, Julia was the wounded party, though it was not entirely her own fault.  Deciding that she needed to put her hands on Madeleine's shoulders and talk sweetly to her sister with their faces inches apart, as Madeleine held Unicornio up and flew him around in the air, Julia sort of unknowingly put herself in the danger zone.  It was only a matter of time before one of Unicornio's big hoofs stabbed Julia directly in the eye.

JULIA: OW!  (bursting into tears.)
ME: Oh, honey, come here!  Are you okay?  (taking Julia to the couch for hugs.)
JULIA: (sobbing)
ME: Madeleine, can you come here and say you're sorry to Julia and give her a hug?
MADELEINE: (running over to the couch.)  I'm sorry, Julia.  (leaning her head over onto Julia's body.)
JULIA: (in between sobs) It's okay.
MADELEINE: (soothingly) Belax.  (petting Julia's arm.)  It's okay.  Beeeeelax.

It took her a little while, but Julia was eventually able to belax and recover from her unexpected stabbing.

Later on, fully made up, the girls played a thrillingly spooky adventure game with the little figurines from their Wow! Cars.  Flower, Star and Emma not only  had to combat cobwebs, but also a ghostly intruder in their house, and faced all tasks at hand with admirable bravery.

JULIA: Oh, no!  Cobwebs!
MADELEINE: Agh!  I stepped on the WEBCOB!
JULIA: You mean COBWEB, Madeleine?
MADELEINE: Uh!  Uh!  Uh!  How I get DOWN?  I can't!
JULIA: We're coming!
MADELEINE: (laughing) Oh!  There you GUYS!
JULIA: It's night-time!  We'd better go to sleep.
MADELEINE: Woooooo!
JULIA: Wooooo!  (gasp) Did you hear that?
MADELEINE: Let's go look and see!
JULIA: I'll turn on the light.  (gasp) FLOWER!  STAR!
MADELEINE: Uh!  Uh!  Uh!
JULIA: Woooooooooo!
MADELEINE: Woooooooo!
JULIA:  Emma!  I mean, Flower!  Do you know what that sound was?
MADELEINE: I don't!
JULIA: Emma!  Do you know anything about ghostes from your science book at school?  We'd better go check in the LIVING ROOM!  Quick, turn on the light!  Oh, it's already on.
JULIA AND MADELEINE: (pounding their Wow! Car girls all over the chairs.)
JULIA: (narrating) Footsteps were running left and right.
MADELEINE: Agh!  Agh!
JULIA: Come on, Flower.  It's no time for playing games!
MADELEINE: Oh, no!  It's even DARK in here!
JULIA: Well... we DID turn on the light...
MADELEINE: (breathy, awed) Flooower!
JULIA: Madeleine!  You're calling my girl Flower!  Say EMMA!
MADELEINE: Emma!
JULIA: Madeleine, say, "We have to find out what that sound is!"
MADELEINE: (wisely) It's a GHOST.
JULIA: I know.  But we can't wake up our mom and dad!  Come on, let's go!  Turn on the attic light, now!  GRAB ONTO THE OTHER ONE, Star!  See the rope, Emma?
MADELEINE and JULIA: Climb!  Climb!  Climb!  Climb!
JULIA: Well, we made it.   FLOWER!  Were you following me and Emma?
MADELEINE: Uh-huh.
JULIA: Come on, we're going to have to JUMP to get down from here!  JUMP!

                                             
Stepping on webcobs.

 Jump!


Unfortunately, the girls never did find the ghost, because they decided the much more pressing thing to do was to get in their Wow! Cars and go to the store.  Perhaps the game will resume later today and we'll be able to solve the mystery of the ghost in the house.  I'll be sure to update you if the story finds any resolution.  Until then, just belax.
