Remember those Mardi-bears I mentioned yesterday? “They are pretty dumb but they do funny stuff,” I said? This morning I thought I was going to rip my stitching open I was laughing so hard.
As a plush, it's easy to to just sit. You might call it sleep, but it's different for us. We don't need to go to sleep like people, or fang-beasts. For us it's more of 'being blank' for a while. Some of us do it more of the time, others eventually learn to be 'non-blank' when we want to. It kinda depends on the bear, or whatever you are.
So back to what made me laugh so hard. I was checking out my surroundings (Dave, the other big-guy tends to move me around to weird places...more recently) and I was sitting in a window early this morning. They were both asleep. They like to sleep late. And believe me, lots happens around here when THEY are 'blank.'
Admiring the light on the flowers in the window I wasn't really paying attention to anything else up here. But then I heard a BANG! Now, this house has its normal noises and its “hey, what the hell was THAT?” noises. This was one of the second kind. But... since it wasn't followed up by anything big I went back to staring at the flower and out the window. Soon enough I got my follow-up.
