<\/p>\nAfter visiting my mom this Thanksgiving, I picked up a box of papers that she had set aside for me years ago.\u00a0 In it, was this story I wrote in grade school some forty years ago.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The text reads as follows,<\/p>\n
My Magic Carpet and I<\/em><\/p>\n It was just another day when I was reading my Spider-man magazine, when I turned the page and I saw an advertisement for a magic carpet for $10.99. I had my money saved so I sent in for it.<\/em><\/p>\n Three weeks later they sent me a yellow and red magic carpet. There was only one problem though, I didn’t know how to drive. Then I said, “I sure would like to know where there is a driving school for magic carpets,” Right then my magic carpet took me up in the air. It stopped in Egypt where there was a sign saying ‘Go to Jonny’s flying carpet school’.<\/em><\/p>\n So I walked in with my magic carpet and asked how much it cost.<\/em><\/p>\n The cashier said, “One dollar please.”<\/em><\/p>\n “Hmm, that’s cheap,” I said, “where should I go to?”<\/em><\/p>\n “The right please,” the cashier answered.<\/em><\/p>\n “Will you come in?” asked a man, “my name is Jonny and you would like to know how to ride a magic carpet do you?”<\/em><\/p>\n “Yes.” I answered<\/em><\/p>\n “The secret is just to tell your magic carpet what to do.”<\/em><\/p>\n “I know that, but, what about all the other stuff like the clutch?”<\/em><\/p>\n “Strictly for show.”<\/em><\/p>\n I left with a dollar down the drain.<\/em><\/p>\n But I kept my magic carpet. From then on it was just my magic carpet and me.<\/em><\/p>\n Momi Ford\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It was just another day when I was reading my Spider-man magazine,…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1107,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[12,13,16],"tags":[30,80,82,97,120],"class_list":["post-1099","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fiction","category-happiness","category-life","tag-blog","tag-magic","tag-musings","tag-philosophy","tag-thoughts"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/doghairlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/fullsizeoutput_3f8c.jpeg?fit=748%2C604&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/doghairlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1099","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/doghairlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/doghairlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doghairlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doghairlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1099"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/doghairlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1099\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1258,"href":"https:\/\/doghairlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1099\/revisions\/1258"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doghairlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1107"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/doghairlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1099"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doghairlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1099"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doghairlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1099"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
