He's Baaack...

Most of you know Paku, Meadow's imaginary friend. He showed up in Spruce Woods on a July Long Weekend when Meadow was about 2 and has become a transient member of our family. I swear even Rex sees him. At the very mention of his name, he starts repeating " Paku, Paku," Then he ends off by saying, "Paku partie."

Anyway, some of Paku's visits are quite long and some short lived. However, he had been gone for quite sometime now. Last time we "saw" him was probably mid hockey season when Meadow opened the back door to the deck and yelled out to the black night, "Oilers are BOOOO!" Then she turns to me and says, "Paku's out there mom" (Creepy)

Today I just finished telling Ang that I needed to write a few Paku stories in the blog because I think he's what brings out the quirkiest in Meadow. I also added that he hadn't been around in a while. I got to my mother-in-law's house to pick up Rex and as we were leaving, Meadow says, "Hurry up Mom, Paku's waiting in the car." So I replied, " Oh Paku's back eh? Where has he been lately?" Meadow answers, "Oh well he was in Africa in a museum. He got a sun burn on his chest from being in the museum too long." So I asked, "Well how come he was gone for so long?" And she replied, "He was waiting for a long time for me to come and get him in Africa so I did."

Well then, nice to see you again Paku....weirdo!
