Once upon a time, there was a little girl who was in Girl Scouts. She loved being in Girl Scouts, because she got to hang out with her friends.
They got to do all kinds of fun activities together, which made them all very happy.
The little girl had an older brother who was in Cub Scouts for many years. She had always tagged along at his events, like family campouts and hikes and visits to museums…and Pinewood Derbies. She longed for the day when she could make and race cars of her own.
Finally, that day came.
The little girl came up with a design all her own, with the help of her dad, to make a car like no other. Unlike her brother’s cars, which were build for speed and “coolness”, her car was all about design. And her design was all girl. Her dad worked hard and she helped him out until the big day arrived.
She proudly took her car to the race where it was registered and impounded until race time. The race officials took a picture so everyone could see her amazing car design.
She waited with eager anticipation until finally her number was called! It was her turn to race! Carefully she carried it to the starting line where the race officials placed in line with the other cars.
On your mark…Get set…GO!! And her car raced down the track, not very quickly because as you know, baby carriages are built for safety, not speed. Nevertheless, the little girl scampered down to the finish line to make sure her precious cargo arrived – intact – at the end of each heat.
The little girl’s car never did win first place in any of its races, but that was okay with the little girl. She was looking forward to the design competition, where she had taken first place as a Daisy Scout with her Hello Kitty pink roller skate car. The bar had been set pretty high and she had great big expectations.
The moment finally came when the results were announced: she won an Honorable Mention for design for the Brownies! Though it didn’t come with a trophy, the little girl was still very proud of her awesome Pink & Purple Baby Carriage car.
It had been a wonderful day for the Powderpuff Girl. And she lived happily ever after, already dreaming of the car she would make the next year…
