New Ears Day

As told by Robi McKee.

I received a joke in my email the other day talking about New Ears Day and the Fairie of that day Eve. I then thought up this story... What if...

Chrissy sat there watching his folks getting ready to go out and see the Fairie of New Ears, Eve. Chrissy wondered why his folks went to get new ears, but then he figured it was because they were old and needed new
ones every so often. Chris and his big sister Caitlyn had to be quite the next day while their folks got used to their new ears. He wanted to go talk to Eve, she had to be a fairie or Fey as his books told, however his folks told him he was much too young to be out for New Ears Eve. He hoped the day wasn’t too far off when he could go see Eve. For he had a wish beyond all wishes, for if Eve could give out new ears to all the grode ups, could she or one of her friends give Chris new parts too. He didn’t want ears, his worked good as they were,
he wanted new bits. He knew someone put the wrong parts on him. He wasn’t a boy, he was a girl. So he decided he was going to stay up and see if he could see Eve at midnight and ask her then. His folks would be only next door at his best friend Heathers house. He checked the clock again. It was 11:35 by the kitchen clock. He felt a bit cold here in the kitchen so he wrapped his robe around him a bit tighter. So he laid his head on his hands to help keep them warm and so he could watch the clock. And waited… And waited…

“Well, look who we have here Hun, Chris what are you doing up out of bed? It’s 2 O’clock in the morning, you young man are to be in bed at this time. Hun, carry him upstairs will you and I’ll get the lights.” His mom slurred.

“OK Champ here we go,” his dad said as he lifted him up from the chair.

“Whaaa? Huhhh?” sleepy head Chris said half asleep. It was after midnight! Darn, shucks, rats… HE SLEPT PAST THE TIME TO TALK TO EVE! He started crying because he’d have to wait until the next New Ears day to talk to
Eve.

“What’s a matter champ?”

“I wanted to go talk to New Ears Eve tonight.” Chris said cryingly.

His dad not getting what he meant said, “Well when you’re older you'll be able to go to a New Years Eve Party, but for right now you’re a bit young, kiddo.”

“But, but, I, I wanted to talk to her about somtin.”

“Talk to her? Who her?”

“Eve, ya know the new ear Fairie.”

His dad hearing what he thought Chris has said, “You’ll get to go to the party when you’re a teenager. Until the you need to get to bed and here we are,” and laid Chris on his bed and tucked him up. “Good night Chris, see you in the morning, but please be quite when you get up… Your moms had a bit much this New Years.”

Sleeply Chris nodded, “Ok dad, good night…” and drifted off asleep to dreams of her with her new bits from Eve, which would have to come another time.

"OH How Cute"

I wish it would have worked that way.
It didn't so I have to live as I am!

"Be excellent to each other,

And PARTY ON DUDES."

Bill and Ted had it correct.
When will you?

Hmm?

Did the joke you received in email look something like the first few paragraphs of this story:

New Ears Day by Wanda Cunningham.

If so, Wanda's little prelude has evidently become part of weblore. :)

Wanda's Tale

The joke wasn't TG related... Though the first paragraph of Wanda's Tale is similar. I hadn't read Wanda's I don't think.

Then with my memory, I could have and forgotten about it. If the stories are similar I can confuse them real easy.
