Wonderland Challenge 2020

Much Too Big

         PROMPT: Your newest dish has made you much too big. List 10 things you'd be able to do in this state and why you'd do them.

         

         

         Yikes! I'm now, and hopefully temporarily, too big. Just a minute, what is 'too big'? I'm bigger than normal, right? I'm thinking I could be Godzilla-big. Yes, that's humongous.

         1. Okay, if I'm gigantic, I'm not intending to leap tall buildings in a single bound. I'm clumsy and bigger feet would most likely compound my affliction. I'd like to decorate the top section of a spectacular Christmas tree like the ones displayed in all their glittery glory in Times Square or Disneyworld. I love the colours of this holiday and all of its family oriented sentiments. Imagine being physically able to reach the peak and place a glowing star or a majestic angel. As an added safety bonus, I would not need to scale a rickety ladder.

         

         

         2. I would like to assemble/create a snowman as height enhanced as myself. There is more than enough snow in my yard today for this project. I happen to like snow people and I collect them in sizes that sit on shelving. This could be a symbol of the fun, carefree side of winter. As the Quebeckers say, "Viva le bonhomme!" It could be a tourist draw for my village. Come and take a pic with our giant/generous snowman ambassador. The annual Snowfest would be memorable.

         

         3. With my increased size, I could avoid stairs of any kind. Oh, the bliss of entering a towering building without first climbing far too many treacherous steps! Stairs and I exist in an uneasy truce. I've learned from mishaps to never trust them.

         

         4. I could scale mountains and skip the gondola rides. No more white-knuckle swaying and fears of a long drop. No more line ups and interminable waits for me. I could get straight to the hiking and breath-taking scenery.

         

         

         5. I believe I'd like the pride and pleasure of something well built, so, I'd help build a spectacular crown jewel of a building. I'd replace the awkward cranes. I'd do all the heavy lifting.

         

         

         6. Spring will arrive in the not too distant future and sometimes, this means flooding. I could volunteer as a barrier, a flood wall. I could replace thousands of sand bags.

         

         7. Think of the fields I could plough or clear for crop planting. With my huge hands and enormous feet, I could overturn soil no problem. I'd be an environmentally friendly option, too.

         

         

         8. I'd undertake a cross-country trek without any motorized transport. My big boots would be made for walking, and once again, I wouldn't be leaving a polluting carbon foot print.

         

         

         9. I could and would plant trees. With my stature, those trees would be the already mature ones ready to provide a canopy, and not the wee stick saplings. Our planet certainly needs more greenery and oxygen.

         

         

         10. I would assist all my neighbours when they adorn their homes with festive Christmas lights. No more dangerous ladder climbs, and no more rescues of those neighbours stranded on their rooves. This would free up time for more socializing, and our neighbourhood would glow with cheeriness.
