Maggie Wants A Ride And MAGGI Noodles

Daddy’s dressing up. He is putting on his shoes. Where is he going? I want to go too. 

I cry.

Daddy pulls my cheeks.

I howl.

Mummy is trying to distract me and motions daddy to leave quickly.

I catch onto the game. But that’s cheating, no? And I howl decibels higher.(Tsk, tsk)

Daddy says that it’s okay, you can come with me in the scooter just once, okay? (I sniff)

I see the scooter and my voice quivers with joy. (Hm...)

Daddy puts me in the front and he climbs onto the bike but behind me.

Daddy starts the scooter and we are on a cruise. The wind is blowing on my hair as I wave to strangers who smile at me going by.

Now daddy lets me hold the handle. Happiness abounds. I am driving the scooter. We go on and on and then I see mummy waving at us.

Daddy lifts me off the scooter and I realise that daddy will be driving the scooter, that our ride is over. 

I cry again but daddy kisses me and he rushes off and is quickly out of sight.

Mummy laughs and kisses me too. We go inside and ma gives me a packet of unopened MAGGI Noodle.

I lick the packet while mummy wipes the tears from my eyes and gives me a few strings of cooked Maggi.

Maggie loves ma and papa and MAGGI Noodles. 

But you know that already, don’t you? (Wink, wink)

MAGGI Wins Heads Or Tails

With MAGGI, It’s Heads You Lose, Tails You Lose (Heh-heh)

After dinner on a Saturday night, Papa puts the kids to bed, switches off the lights, keeping a zero watt bulb on. He kisses the children goodnight and goes to the living room where Ma is watching TV.

Papa is worried. They have tried everything to stop Maggie from sucking her thumb but have failed. Nothing seems to work. (Tsk, tsk)

Ma is worried too. They sit quietly for a while when Ma suddenly breaks her silence. 

What if they distract her with an unopened packet of MAGGI Noodles? (Blink, blink)

Papa isn’t so sure but we have nothing to lose if we tried, he agrees.

Day rolls into night that fateful Sunday. Maggie finishes eating and begins  sucking her thumb 

Ma takes out a single packet of an unopened MAGGI  Noodles and gives it to Maggie. And quickly pull out Maggie’s thumb from her mouth. 

Maggie gurgles with delight and holds it tightly. She stops sucking her thumb for a while.

It worked. There is much joy in Ma and Pa”s camp...

...until she puts her thumb in her mouth again. (Oh, dear!)

All is not lost. They have another chance at trying again tomorrow. (Tsk, tsk)

Papa tucks Maggie in and kisses her goodnight. 

Maggie is holding MAGGI Noodles tightly as she sucks her thumb in her sleep.

All is not well in Ma and Pa”s camp though Maggie sleeps like a. lamb. (Sigh)

You can never win if a child is a great fan of MAGGI Noodles. (Wink, wink)

Don’t even try, you’ll lose. (Hee-haw!)
