Q1: The Pink Ping Pong Ball Story, Part 3


And now, what you’ve all been waiting for: the conclusion of the three blog long epic adventure story tale,

The Pink Ping Pong Ball Story

If you haven’t caught on yet, this is a continuation of my two other blogs, so you should probably read them before you go and find out the ending to the whole story I’ve got going.  Now, where did I leave off?  Ah, yes.  Ahem. 

So another perfectly normal year rolled around, and the Mother and Father never heard anything about any pink pong balls.  They still dreaded their son’s ninth birthday, though, as they were sure he’d ask for more pink ping pong balls (a most odd request).  But to the overjoy of the parents, when they offered him anything he wanted again, he wished for a new red tricycle.  The Father was a little concerned that his son was still riding a tricycle at age nine, but it beat the heck out of buying more pink pong balls and thinking your son was crazy.

Years and years passed, and the kid grew into a teenager.  It had been nearly eight years since the boy had asked for pink ping pong balls, and his parents had almost entirely forgotten the whole incident.  Pretty soon, the boy was graduating from high school with an advanced diploma.  The parents, brimming with pride for their son, and not afraid to ask the following question anymore, said,

“Son, we are so proud of you.  We are willing to buy you any car you want; a Lamborghini, a Porche, a beetle, whatever you want!  Money is not an issue.”

The son replied, much to his parents’ shock, “No thanks.  I just want fifty pink ping pong balls.”
The parents, utterly bewildered, gave their son what he asked.  They never saw the pink ping pong balls again.  I totally lied about this being the end.
