A few weeks ago, I spun a medieval tale of three KITs (knights-in-training) as they set forth on a quest to rescue the Frog King from the evil clutches of the Bush Monsters. The KITs succeeded and the Kingdom of Postofficio lies in a dormant lull of peace.
However, this peace would not last. Surely, the Bush Monsters would rise again like ‘He That Must Not Be Named’. Who would save the kingdom? Who was brave enough?
Kolby Potter raised his wand and marched into the Chamber of Danger with his Dad.
Ooh, wait. I’m getting my genres mixed up. I did say medieval not the Wizarding World. Sorry Harry Potter fans! I got carried away like Dolores Umbridge by centaurs into the Forbidden Forest.
Back to the Kingdom of Postofficio… It is true that two KITs turned down the quest for fear of the Bush Monster return. Not my 5-year-old though. Kolby was ready and displayed the courage needed to defend the Kingdom a second time and thwart the Bush Monsters, yet again, restoring peace and justice to the galaxy.
Oops, did the genre thing again!
Kolby and I stepped onto the battlefield, package-in-hand, ready to make our delivery or die trying. After creeping past the sleeping Bush Monsters, we strode through the courtyard of the palace, across the draw bridge, and straight into the Great Hall to deliver the message and retrieve a new one.
The news was grim. Very grim. The Bush Monsters were teasing the Frog Queen. Nothing like this had ever occurred in Postofficio. Therefore, Sir Kolby approached the Bush Monsters with a vengeance matched only by Inigo Montoya who famously said to the 6-fingered man. “My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”
The Bush Monsters awoke at Sir Kolby’s approach and immediately returned to teasing the Frog Queen. Sir Kolby took swift action and attacked the Bush Monsters in a flurry of hand chops and foot kicks that left them powerless. Thus, the teasing ceased and the Kingdom now owes Sir Kolby and Sir Dadnamic a great debt of gratitude.

If you followed along to this ridiculous story and actually imagined anything other than the post office, congratulations. You have passed the first level of Dadnamics training.
If you only saw the post office and not the hideous Bush Monsters, well then… Keep coming back. You’ll get the hang of it.
