Fantastic story, Melilot!!! I always love a story filled with sweet moments between Paladin and Pippin. I, too, am an advocate that these two were very loving and very close.

I loved the Cloud Story! So cute and original--did this come from your own childhood images of clouds? ;-) And last, but certainly NOT least, congratulations on being a Recommendation this week! Thank you for sharing your story!

Author Reply: Thank you :) I never thought about eating clouds when I was a child :). But I did write that kind of stories back then (I read a few of the stories my mother saved as inspiration for Pippin's story and to get the tone right.)

(And I was thrilled when I saw my story was one of the Recommendations.)

Cute, and believable. Paladin's reaction was very true to life: shouting at his son at first in shock and then becoming warm and comforting when he had himself back under control.

I didn't know that fact about children's bones breaking differently from adults'. Learned something.

Ah, Pip, you're quite the storyteller, even at age seven!

Author Reply: Thank you for your review.

It's good to hear you think Paladin's reaction was true.

If you want to learn even more: the fracture I was referring to is called "Greenstick fracture" (Hope my translation is right.)

Very cute story. Loved the story that Pippin made up for his father in order to stay awake.

I really enjoyed writing the tale Pippin told. As a child I used to write stories like that, although this one is new :).
