A trip

Oh hello there!  I can't talk for long today because I am in a hurry packing my suitcase.  That's right, I'm going on a trip.  My mom said I could tag along on one of her work trips.  Last time, I went to Iowa.

I think I'll pack my blue shirt.  It's an old shirt, but sometimes you just want to wear something nice and old and comfy, you know?

I think I'll pack my Bear Cub Scout uniform also.  I might be able to do some scouting wherever I end up.

I'm also going to pack my Jedi robe.  You never know when you will need to use the Fish and defend the galaxy from the Dark Side.

Hmm.  It doesn't seem like everything fits into my suitcase.

I will try sitting on my suitcase.  I have seen my mom do that sometimes when she is packing.

There!  It seems to have worked!  My suitcase is all packed and I'm ready to go.  I wonder where we will be going this time.

An adventure to... ?

My mom announced that she was going on a business trip and would be away for a few days.  That meant Uncle Tibbs was in charge.

"Ah, I do enjoy bearsitting," Uncle Tibbs said.  I have to say, Uncle Tibbs is a really cool bearsitter.

We gathered by the door to say goodbye.

My mom turned to leave with her suitcase.  But suddenly, a wave of curiosity and adventure came over me.  I made a run for it and jumped onto her suitcase.  Wherever she was going, I wanted to go too.

"Ajdin!  What are you doing?" Uncle Tibbs asked.  "Come back here!"

"Aaaaaajdiiiiiiiin," Ooogie said, "cooooooooome baaaaaaaaaaaack."

I zipped open the suitcase and squeezed myself inside.

"Bye Ooogie!  Bye Uncle Tibbs!" I yelled.  "See you soon!"

Now the real question was... where were we going?
