ROFL!!!! I mean really, nothing more need be said. hehehe Author Reply: chuckle Not until Pip grows up, anyway, and Merry can embarrass him with this...

Oh, this is priceless!! There's one in every family. My youngest nephew was forever taking off his clothes when he was that age and has given the rest of us a deep well of stories to bring him up short w/when needed >:oD "Can cats me!!"...Poor Merry!! LOL!! Thanks for this adorable little tale. :oD Author Reply: It seems to be something that certain little ones just go through, to the chagrin of their families, LOL! Of course, it is embarrassing years later, to hear all about it. grin

So you finally got around to telling the whole story! I enjoyed it in its abbreviated form in A Conspiracy of Hobbits and thought at the time that it would be jolly fun to see an extended version of it. Thanks for the good laugh! Author Reply: Well, as you know sooner or later, all those little short anecdotes seem to get a fuller telling, LOL! I'm glad it gave you a chuckle! 8-D

giggling This was so vivid I could see it! Merry haring down the street after a chuckling (and increasingly bare) Pippin! He must have been a real handful as a little faunt. Had to laugh at the thought of Ferumbras holding him out at arm's length too! A crusty batchelor aristocrat would probably have this sort of reaction. Poor Merry must wonder what other scrapes his baby cousin will get him into. Great story! Author Reply: I'm so glad you got a kick out of it! I think Pippin as a faunt would indeed have been a handful, LOL! Yes, I couldn't see Ferumbras as being exactly good with children. And as the title suggests, this might have been the first time Pippin embarrassed him, but it certainly wasn't the last! 8-D

Maybe young Pippin would have thought twice about the strip if he'd only known how far word of it would travel. But, on the other hand, maybe not! Author Reply: snerk Probably not. It's clear he was impulsive from the start! (And yeah, imagine if Merry had repeated the story to the rest of the Fellowship--it would be known throughout two kingdoms--and then when Legolas got to Aman...Poor Pip! What a thing to be known for! But of course, he could have retaliated with Frodo's story about Merry...)

ROFL!! Poor Merry! That's certainly not what he had expected! And in plain sight of everyone! I only wonder how Pippin was able to run so fast while stripping down to his bare skin! Author Reply: grin That's what many a baby-minder has wondered in similar circumstances--how can they run so fast while taking off their clothes?

Oh, I can see this happening with an active little one like Pippin--and right into Fermubras himself? How hilarious! Author Reply: Yep. Smack into the crusty old Thain! evil grin

So what is embarrassing about chasing a Took in his birthday suit? Grins with tongue in cheek More moments please! Author Reply: snerk "chasing a Took in his birthday suit", LOL! giggle Oh there will! A whole lot! But soon I'll have to start on a new mathom room.

Queen Galadriel	Reviewed Chapter: 90 on 1/23/2006
Oh! LOL! LOL! Oh my goodness, that's hysterical! Yes, I can see baby Pip doing just that. LOL! Oh...oh poor Merry! Hahahaha! God bless, Galadriel Author Reply: snicker Well, this was one of two little anecdotes told at Frodo's Farewell Party in Bag End, before the Quest. I had long ago expanded on the story Frodo told on Merry, so I thought it was about time to expand on the one Merry told about Pip! And, yes, poor embarrassed Merry, LOL!
