the rise and fall of mr. bee.

ever since i got my rocco, my friends have slowly been replaced with rocco's favorite toys. the toy du jour happens to be mr. bee since his favorite toys typically have a lifespan of one night. here is the story of the rise and fall of mr. bee re-interpreted as a really shitty children's story, aptly titled "the rise and fall of mr. bee". haaaa omg, i need to get out more.

1. once upon a time, rocco, the prince(ss) of the land, was bored was with all of his toys. his slave (me), never wanting to see him lonely or upset, ventured out to a neighboring kingdom, petropolis (real name of the store) to pick up some new toys to amuse him. tired of seeing him chew on dried tendons, i had to find something new.. something cuter.. and then, i saw mr. bee. dundundun! mr. bee is a stuffed animal that squeaks and has crinkly wings. i thought i had found the perfect new toy for my princess.

2. at first, rocco was wary of mr. bee. it squeaks! it crinkles! it's not easily chewed up! mr. bee, it seems, had already gotten the best of rocco.

3. i was not ready to give up this easily. i was still confident in my choice and determined to make sure that rocco enjoyed it. however, few things can replace rocco's favorite toy: the camera/my face. i was lying down on the ground to get some shots, which rendered me defenseless against this teething puppy. with mr. bee out of the picture, my face was his next target.. but not before he posed for a quick pic first! what a model, and his ears are finally up!

4. desperate to amuse him with something other than my mangled face, i gave rocco one of his ex-favorite toys, mr. pink tennis ball (ok, i am not too great with names). choices, choices.. what will he choose?!

5. wheeeeeeee, success!! funfunfun for everyone! the princess has been satisfied.

6. unfortunately, he was not amused for too long. hence this blurry shot.. didn't have any time to focus my shot (or for most of these for that matter).. had a crazy puppy coming at 579831mph ready to bite my face off.. lovingly, i'm sure.. butbecominglesssurebythesecond.

7. as with all of rocco's "favorite" toys, with the exception of my face and toes, mr. bee met his inevitable demise and was forsaken to some desolate corner in the apartment. some goodbye looks at mr. bee..

8. the defeated mr. bee, you served me well, for all of an hour, and that is all i can ask of you. thanks.

fin.
