mickey stories; chapter seven

I have been a bit slack about the Mickey stories over Christmas.  But I have had a chat/pick her brains/voyouristic drain of ideas meeting with Mickey's mother, and I have plenty of new source material to share.

Mickey is a small friend of mine, and his life needs to be written in black and white.  He is very inventive and his brain works in interesting neural firing patterns.

This is the story of Mickey and the 'fireworks'.

Mickey's mother was outside doing some gardening one day when Mickey was about three when he ran out to her and exclaimed 'Mum I can make fireworks!'.  More than a little concerned about this, his mother went inside to find out what 'fireworks' meant.  Micky had found a box of matches and was sticking them into the powerpoints - causing sparks.  He had prised off the powerpoint protector thingies.  Shrieking slightly Mickey's mother whipped the matches off him and made an appointment with Kidsafe house in Brisbane.

When they visited Kidsafe house Mickey's mother explained the situation, and looked to the staff there to help her with making her house a safer place for Mickey.  The staff at Kidsafe house watched silently as Mickey went through the Kidsafe house - undoing every closed door, exposing every powerpoint and opening every childproof gate.

Then they looked at Mickey's mother and said, sadly. "I'm sorry, there is nothing we can do."

Here's hoping Mickey can use his powers for good.
