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)
