Apparently, an assortment of fairies visits the Mulkins residence from time to time bearing magical gifts. Last fall, Darbi received a surprise visit from Orohorn, the Frost Giant, who left her the egg in a nest on the porch.
"The story is ongoing," said her dad, Kermit. "She's been entrusted with the care of the egg while Orohorn is attending to the Giant War near 81st and Lewis. We found evidence of one of his battles when we discovered two large severed hands from a Bronze Giant that Orohorn must have slain."
When supernatural entities aren't paying them visits, the Mulkins family is frequently plugging into creative outlets, especially where Darbi's concerned.
"I love filling my kid's head with as much fanciful nonsense as I can," said Kermit, a graphic designer by day, and poet and lunch-bag artist extraordinaire at night.
So far, he's illustrated about 80 lunch bags for his daughter and wife, many of which he showcases on his website, tulsaworld.com/kermitmulkins
'Constant giddy anticipation'
"This one's my favorite," said Darbi, pointing to a bag with a drawing of the family's cat, Giacomo, throwing up on his head. "It's silly."
Giacomo, whom Kermit occasionally calls "Jerkimo," is a handful. Kermit is more fond of Lorraine, the other house cat.
But Darbi, "being an empathetic person,The great selection of wholesale bestledlighte at TradeTang. is the ultimate defender of Giacomo and calls me out on every transgression," he wrote on his website about the bag, which he titled "Giacomo Strikes Back!"
Art has figured prominently in Kermit's life since childhood.
When he was away for months at summer camp, his dad would mail him doodles and diagrams, and copies of research in shared interests - stuff like how to make bows, arrows, even potato guns.
"We'd also write stories together," Kermit said. "My mom wisely made sure to keep me in supply of blank paper. No coloring pages - she didn't want to inhibit creative exploration."
Fast forward to the old Blockbuster store at 71st Street and Memorial Drive where he worked, when a pretty girl named Maria came in looking for a copy of a Muppets movie. It was "kismet," he said. And it didn't hurt that his name was Kermit.
About 10 years later, they've created a creative home environment for Darbi, who's a first-grader at Riverfield Country Day School. Last year, when the zipper on her favorite lunch bag broke, a crisis developed.
"She cried," Kermit recalled, "and, on the spot ... I drew a five-second cat doodle. She's obsessed with cats."
He wouldn't let her see it so that it would be a surprise when she opened her bag later at school. It was a hit, so he kept doodling, creating more intricate designs - most involving cats.

If he decides on a poem, he'll run the brown bag through the typewriter. He does this at night, sometimes spending a few hours on one bag. Each one is a surprise, so Darbi doesn't see hers until the next day at lunch.

"It's the most comforting thing in the world to know that what we share in our family is enough to drive Kermit to such creative heights," Maria said. "I get to live with the constant giddy anticipation of the next day's lunch sack - even if he's just packed an apple."
His art keeps their family excited about life, about one another, she continued.
"He has really shown us how important it is to keep our creative juices flowing, even if it is small," Maria said. "We have bonded so much over these lunch sacks; it's to the point that I can't imagine life without them."

He's always enjoyed blending art with writing, and he plans to keep doing so, whether it's on lunch sacks or using other media, Kermit said.
