STUFFED ANIMAL

Wait a few days or better yet a few weeks and they will probably forget the excuses when they haven't heard them for a while a little while again change them somewhat only a little somewhat some of the what they don't notice too much what is said or better yet say less and they'll comment on how quiet things are and remind them of how it helps with slipping in a little nap here and there when no one is looking or while they are looking they get bored and look somewhere else some of the where something somewhat more interesting slightly very slightly more interesting might possibly be happening somewhere else or think of something else some of the thing in their head that bone in their head they continue chewing on inside their box where the detours inside are cluttered with sticky notes.


One of those sticky notes reads:


Why did you do it?  Wanted to make him fit jamming the frequencies frequently jamming him in there get in there making him fit so tightly you and him you are both so tight like zippers bulging and costume the costume just might rip making him fit on the concrete backyard patio so concrete so concretely getting it done making it happen it just so happens that the costume almost ripping don't let it rip don't let him out of the costume going to look so the part for the picture putting this camera down will help free up these hands to get those little arms and legs stuffed in there get that stubborn head in there you are small enough to get in there and stay in there until the picture make sure don't knock the camera off of the plastic chair back here stop making such a fuss you will like this 


Another of those sticky notes reads:


Stop the fuss and relax stop the fuss stopped the crash and it is not playing anymore get the image out of your little fragile stubborn little head knew that it was probably not a good idea to show him the crash the plane coming apart the pilot bloodied hitting every side of the cockpit bouncing about in that bubble bubbles in the bath you like those bubbles would you like a relaxing bath with a mountain of bubbles you can hide in and make sure not to get the bubbles all over and the water keep the water in the tub towel on the floor all soaked with water and bubbles bloody bubbles


And another of the other sticky notes reads:


don't knock the camera off the plastic chair don't want to ruin this moment with you wanting to ruin this moment by knocking the camera off the plastic chair don't knock the camera off the plastic chair don't want to ruin this moment with you wanting to ruin this moment don't ruin this moment by ruining the moment by knocking the camera off the plastic chair don't want to ruin this moment with you wanting to ruin this moment by you ruining this moment by letting them see you ruining this moment want them to see you not ruining this moment by not knocking the camera off the plastic chair don't want to ruin this moment with you wanting to ruin this moment by ruining this moment can't let them see you ruining this moment by knocking the camera off the plastic chair can't let them see you ruining this moment by ruining this moment by getting away
