True Life: I'm a Staten Island Squirrel
I, a happy little squirrel who currently resides in Bullshead, Staten Island, was walking along and minding my own little squirrel business on Monday afternoon when something shiny caught my eye. Was it a golden ticket? No. Was it one of those cute little bags with the coin chocolates inside? No. It was the Nintendo kiosk in Blockbuster, on which a small boy was playing with a PSP. Entrigued, I patiently waited by the door of Blockbuster for someone to walk through the entrance absent-mindedly enough that they don't notice me follow them inside.
Jackpot! A group of four boys stormed through the glass doors. I darted in with them and to the back corner of the store where the video games were. On the way I tried to say a quick hello to Bellezza, but she was preoccupied talking to Courtney and Al Nap. I did, however, catch her attention when the boy at the PSP screamed. I don't know why he did - I just went over to the game because I wanted to play too. Hello, it was Tony Hawk Underground.
So he screamed. I don't understand why such an uproar was caused. All of a sudden the other boys were running over to me. I got scared so I went in the opposite direction. They followed me! I didn't want to play with them so I jumped on top of a shelf of movies. I was high enough to be out of their reach. But not Al's. Al Nap came running after me with a big box! I love this game, because I always win. The human tries to trap me in a cardboard box (they call it "home") and I try to escape! As I suspected, Al Nap was not able to keep up with me.
It seemed like the whole store wanted to play with us. Before I knew it, everyone was chasing me. No one knew the rules - one at a time! Since I don't like to play with cheaters, I decided it was time to leave. Perfect, Bellezza was holding the back door open. How convenient. I gave the kids one more run around the store for kicks and then scadazzled (it's a word) back into the fresh air. Oh darn, I forgot to rent the PSP game.
True story.
Minus the inner monologue.
