SHADOW: I don't see why I can't sleep in here too. There's room if we snuggle...
MOONDOGGIE: Because you're a beginner sleeper! I'm advanced. I bet you don't even know the Three Forms of Sleep.
SHADOW: Um...Well...
MOONDOGGIE: See? I knew it! Well, for your information -- and this is gonna count for half your grade on the Final -- the Three Forms of Sleep are A.) Restorative, B.) Beauty...
MOONDOGGIE: ...and C.) Inverted Splunkin', which I just invented. If you ever have insomnia, I highly recommend you use this form, because it allows you to voyeuristically peep on gophers, and they have very dull lives, so it helps you nod off.
I haven't slept well since November 8th, but now that I know about spelunking gopher-watching, I'm looking forward to sweet dreams once again. Thanks, Moondoggie!
ReplyDeleteI want to curl up with them! :)
ReplyDelete"Inverted Splunkin'" my ass. You just unplugged him, admit it...
ReplyDeleteI'll have the boneless fillet of kitty, please.
ReplyDeleteI approve of Moondoggie's choice of bedtime reading material, too. Or are they both fans of steampunk/Victorian literary pastiche?
