Meet Raoul

In I.B.F.F Diaries '21: That's Not How The Story Goes, we are introduced to the Tooth Tribe, a rainforest Baka-like tribe of dogs who worship and respect the creek and jungle near the playground and park. They are discovered by me, Bluey, Snickers, Coco, Luke, Resus and Cleo when we explore the jungle near the park for the first time.

Raoul is the youngest member of the tribe, a wolf about Bluey's age. He has grey fur, red painted stripes across his cheeks and fang teeth protruding from his mouth. All the members of the tribe have different facial paint and fang teeth protruding from their mouths. Raoul's friends are a brown dog called Bomba and a yellow dog called Cherry. Raoul's father, Spit, is the leader of the tribe, and holds a pair of magical animal tarot cards to turn anyone into animals, which Raoul likes to use for fun. At one point when Asparagus airs on CBeebies, I'm going to think up a storyline that involves me inviting Raoul and his tribe around for dinner, but then everything spirals out of control when the tarot cards mix with Eefa's spells. Another shining moment for Raoul will come when The Creek airs on CBeebies, when in my story he takes Bluey, Bingo, Luke, Resus, Cleo, Luella, Six and me into the jungle to hang out with the rest of his tribe at his favourite water hole.

Friends Forever

SHOCK!

Today was quite a shocking day, as Grandma fell over and I could hear her calling for help! Mum panicked as she tried to call an ambulance, and I told Grandma to think about unicorns eating ice cream.

The paramedics came and had to use oxygen and gas (I forgot the name of what's on the tank) on Grandma to take away the pain, and my favourite beeping blood pressure machine is back! Grandma felt sick and did a poo on the floor, it was so gross, but I'm glad she did it on vinyl and not on carpet like last time. They took Grandma away to Raigmore in an ambulance chair to put a plaster cast round her arm - it's almost like a real 'Emergency On Call' segment in Operation Ouch. Now I'm here, writing this blog entry, and we're in charge in the quietest house in Scotland.

Luckily, I did some deep breathing to take away the shock of seeing Grandma lying unconscious on the floor, not moving a muscle. Where did I learn that from? Esme & Roy, one of my favourite Tiny Pop shows, where Esme, the young girl, treats the little monsters she and Roy care for to deep breathing exercises when he or she starts crying or getting angry.

By the way, when I think about unicorns eating ice cream, I think about a blue unicorn eating a huge Neapolitan ice cream - vanilla, strawberry and chocolate - as rainbows form in a sparkling blue sky.

Odd Squad & Reincarnation

Yesterday, an episode of Odd Squad airing as part of Saturday Mash Up taught me one thing that wasn't taught in any kids' show starring real kids being agents - death and reincarnation. In the first Odd Squad episode shown as part of the show, named 'The Weight Of The World Depends On Orla', Orla starred in flashbacks detailing her life in the temple with other legendary. That boy and that Mrs. O/Big O-looking girl she was with during the flashbacks, they were actually the first forms of Oswald and Big O themselves, and in the second episode shown, 'Substitute Agents', we were shown an interaction between Orla and Oswald for the first time, detailing that they were together in both lives. It's strange how a kids' show can suddenly go the route for teaching children about death and reincarnation the Odd Squad way.
