I do believe it’s time to call forth a challenge (for no reason at all)!

Without further ado, I present…

The Little Prince challenge!!!

In case someone hasn’t read The Little Prince, it’s about the Little Prince, who lives on his own tiny planet about the size of a house. He leaves to visit six other tiny planets and Earth.

On each planet, he discovers an adult, that according to him is silly, because all they care about are their profession, money, power, alcohol, compliments, etc.

Your mission, should you choose to accept, is:

Create a planet inhabited by an adult with some strange character trait that, according to you, is silly. (The Little Prince-esque)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Prince has a good summary of the strange adults, if you need inspiration and don’t own the book.

There really aren’t many guidelines, are there?

I’ll possibly judge sometime in the future, but I really just want to see how many great, creative ideas you guys can come up with!

    And just as a side comment, everyone should read The Little Prince. It’s a great story, and it really makes you think about yourself and humanity.

    Awesome challenge! That is one of my favorite books, which (shamefully) I’d forgotten about until you posted the challenge. I will definitely be entering. :-)

    OK, I just entered. My entry is incredibly silly, I’m almost embarrassed by it.

    I haven’t read it, only seen that movie version from way back. I know my brother really likes the book though, and he has pretty good taste. Most of the time. I’m sure he’s right in this instance though.

    This and The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein are the two books I love giving my nieces and nephews as presents. I had fun writing my bit on this one.
