I have a job now. Jobs are cool. But my job requires that I stay up very late/early and go to sleep at 6-7 in the morning when I finish my job. So while I'm out there driving my paper route and doing my best not to hit things while simultaneously rolling papers and sticking them into boxes and reading my directions and being very thankful that no one else is on the road at the same time as me--I often have strange thoughts pop into my head.
Not that that's all that different from other times. I think we all know that my head is very strange.
But the very strange thought that popped into my mind was this: 'Oooh! Bunny! Don't hit it! Wow, bunnies are fast...bunny races!'
In case you didn't follow that: I almost hit a bunny (there are so many of them and they are all so cute and fuzzy and their little tails are so adorable I could just die. That is all) but managed to avoid hitting it not only thanks to my excellent driving skills (aaaaaaaahhhhhh don't hit the bunny!) but because that rabbit was just so ridiculously fast. Which led to the inevitable, 'I wonder how fast they can run,' which led to the, 'It would be so cool to see two rabbits race each other,' which will eventually lead to my convincing a good friend to let me borrow her rabbits and try to race them. Please?
Bunnies are natural sprinters. But they don't run in a straight line. They bounce all over the place as they flee to cover.
ReplyDeleteIt would be fun to see how fast they can run, but the only way to get them to RUN is to scare them really really badly.
I'm still horrified from my childhood when my pet rabbit screamed.
I am sorry, but I can't help you with this adventure.
