This game was co-written by an 8-year-old girl and her father. Having a kid around that age that I've made IF games with, I completely enjoyed this game and thought it was cute.
I never had any problems with the parser, and I think the young author's fresh perspective allowed some surprising responses that weren't in the norm.
The 'puzzles' were simple to follow and interactivity flowed well.
Overall, a very pleasant little game. Very small, and very fun; what a nice experience for a family team.
