*ROFL*
Ah, just what I needed today! That doesn't leave any question where Pippin has his cheekiness from :)


Frodo looked at Pippin – Pippin, who trusted him so completely and waited for his guidance. He thought of Merry, years before, sitting on the floor of the Brandy Hall kitchen and clutching a jar tightly in his tiny hands as he tried to convince his mother that yes, grapes do grow from potatoes, because Frodo had said so.

*snickers*
I can picture that perfectly.

And Esmeralda... very mean of her, how she arranged that potatoe-cleaning scene :)

Thank you for linking me to this.

Author Reply: Thanks so much, Lily! I'm glad you read this and enjoyed it! I'm very fond of mischievous Frodo, but since I was once on the receiving end of a prank very much like this one I wanted Pippin to get his revenge against his mean old cousin :) And Esmeralda definitely wanted revenge - she practically forced me to do it! *grin*

This was cute! Definitely sounds like the type of mischief a young hobbit would get into.

Author Reply: Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed this - it was definitely fun to write those mischief-making hobbits :)

That Frodo's a nasty trickster! No wonder he was called the terror of Brandy Hall. I know what it's like to have tricks played on you by cousins (and brother); I was always extremely gullible. Excellent story!

Author Reply: I had my gullible moments too, so I can definitely sympathize!

I'm so glad you enjoyed this story. It was so much fun to write a mischievous Frodo. Thanks for reading and commenting! :)

Mean ol'Frodo! (but it was kinda funny...)

Author Reply: Thanks for reading - glad to make you giggle! And I'm sure that the lads would have thought it funny too, but perhaps not until after the stinky potato smell came out of Frodo's clothes :D

Very cute! LOLOLOL

ICK @ all those rotten po-TAY-toes!!! heheh

Author Reply: Thank you! And I agree, those potatoes must have been quite disgusting. No wonder Pippin's mother wouldn't go near them! :)

LOL, that devilish Frodo, tricking poor unsuspecting Pippin. Just the type of pranks one would play on a younger cousin. And I loved their payback. Well done!

Author Reply: Thank you! I figured that Merry and Pippin had to learn their mischief-making from somewhere, and who better than their older cousin? :D

This had me LOL! It's nice to see Frodo's mischievous side like that. And I can imagine Merry and Pippin looking up to him and believing every single word, too.

Author Reply: I'm so glad this made you laugh! I like to see Frodo's mischievous side too, before he was ever burdened by the Ring. Thanks for reading and commenting! :)
