Tube Tunnel Mole Has Nothing To Do (An Original by Ro)

 Tube Tunnel Mole Has Nothing To Do 

Once upon a time, Tube Tunnel Mole had nothing to do but sleep in his small mole bed.  His pillow had his name and a picture of his face stitched on it.  He slept well on his bed.  He dreamed about exactly what was happening outside of his eyelids:  nothing, but the things that were around him.  His small television, which was turned off. The blue walls of his house that didn’t have any paintings or pictures.  His blue robot Mobot that he usually used to make birdhouses.  

He woke up in a spaceship.  The ten astronauts took his bed, his pillow, and his whole house in the rocket ship.  Tube Tunnel Mole felt like an astronaut and felt happy about being in the spaceship.  Tube Tunnel Mole wanted to know what the astronauts discovered that they didn’t show on television.  The spaceship didn’t have a window, and they wanted to land on the moon.  Because there wasn’t a window, they watched a television showing what a camera showed from the outside.  The astronauts only took his television and keyboard into the rocketship because Tube Tunnel Mole could log in to the camera system to access the video.  

Tube Tunnel Mole woke up Mobot using the “on” button of the remote control.  The astronauts decided that Mobot could stay if Tube Tunnel Mole was okay with it.

The astronauts, Tube Tunnel Mole, and Mobot crashed onto the moon, breaking Mobot. They collected samples from the surface of the moon including soil, stone, and air.  They drilled the surface to see if they could find water.  The astronauts had been sent to the moon for a very long time.  They needed to return the samples by the time that Tube Tunnel Mole woke up.  He had fallen asleep again.  

Tube Tunnel Mole needed to be back on Earth to create more tube systems and tunnels.

Then the day was over and Tube Tunnel Mole fell back asleep.

Tube Tunnel Mole woke up a lot quicker this time.  He woke up in a scuba suit in the Pacific Ocean.  He quickly found a black hole that transported him to the Atlantic Ocean.  Then he found another black hole that took him back into the rocketship to restart his journey to the moon.

Then Tube Tunnel Mole started to go into another black hole that took him to the bottom of a volcano about ready to erupt.  A stone face was carved into the volcano.  It told him to burrow into the ground of the volcano until he reached another volcano and continue burrowing until he got to a black hole that would transport him into his own head.  Then he would reach another black hole that would transport him to his brain.  Then another black hole would take him back to his body.

Then Tube Tunnel Mole found an enchanted blue jay feather that would transform into anything he needed including a blue screwdriver that could help him fix robots.  In order to start doing the ultimate form of the screwdriver, which was a peanut blaster, he needed to turn it into a phone to scan a QR code that was right on the back of the item.  Luckily the phone had a lens that could be extended out into a U-shape facing back onto itself.  Tube Tunnel Mole took a picture to unlock the feather to make it available for others to use after he used the screwdriver to repair Mobot.  Then Tube Tunnel Mole released the feather onto the air to float to the next person that needed it.

The End

Happy New Year!

Christmas worked out pretty well. We did Christmas Eve with B's grandpa and mom at PF Changs and did a present exchange and play pool at B's grandpa's house afterwards. Dinner at Sharon's on Christmas Day was also nice, but we're noticing it's starting to get more difficult for her. We may start taking her and Denise out for Christmas dinner starting next year because it's cutting into hangout/talking and isn't as relaxing as it used to be. Ro got almost everything he wanted for Christmas though he's starting to question more seriously if Santa is real. I'm trying to move him into the "open secret" direction. We'll see how it goes. Ro got a new football, Arthur (PBS cartoon) sock set, Peanuts comics, and gift cards. He's been trying to find an excuse to grab anyone he can to go out and throw around his football. Everyone got petanque bags in their stockings. Santa also gave B a measuring stick and light-up cochenette, but B and...

May 2026

Ooops. I didn't realized I let this go so long without an update. Nothing personal, just lost track of time. We went on a cruise right before Ramadan to MX (7 nights to Cabo, Mazatlan, and PV) with Emmy. Everything would have been better if we didn't get a drink package for our room. Maybe then she might not have gotten drunk and curse at Ro twice and criticized our parenting. We let the first curse go, but then she did the rest during dinner on the 6th night and B got mad at her. She ended up with food poisoning on the 6th day/7th night and stayed in the room all day so we weren't bothered and had an awkward drive back to Fresno from LA. She owed me $1300 once we got back, which made everything more awkward. B and I think she didn't think I was bothered by the whole thing and that only B owed her an apology. Especially since she doubled down about cursing at Ro and never apologized for the way she acted. She kept hinting in later conversations that we might need to d...

Happy Birthday!

I hope today is going ok for you. It feels like it's been busy, but I don't know that much new has been going on since my last post. Mom came to visit in time for Ro's joint theater birthday party yesterday and will be heading out tomorrow. We saw Howl's Moving Castle. It came out when I was in high school, but I never saw the whole movie. It was really pretty and there was a lot going on. I think I might go back and read the book. The kids seemed to enjoy the movie even though it was also really long. We all looked over at where all the kids were sitting and it looked like someone dumped a large bucket of popcorn straight on the floor. The other kid's mom watched everyone to see who was trying to leave the theater for whatever reason (more drinks, bathroom, etc) and kept everyone together. It was a much smaller group this year even with having a joint party. The ads in the beginning were the worst - they took up almost a whole hour before the movie actually starte...
