Jess and I had a conversation on the way home from the store yesterday. Here's how it went.
Jess: Did Winnie the Pooh only eat honey?
Me: I mean, he's a bear, right? I'm pretty sure that between heartwarming adventures he hunts.
Jess: Seems reasonable.
Me: Well, the hundred acre wood isn't rife with woodland creatures. Probably because Pooh kills and eats them.
Jess: I think that's what happened to Piglet's parents. Piglet has Stockholm Syndrome. Pooh is his friend because Piglet's mind can't deal with the horror of remembering the bloody murder of his parents.
Me: Christopher Robin is just getting fattened up for a finale that will ruin the childhoods of millions.
Jess: God, I hope so.
There was more to the conversation but I was so tired that I fell asleep and forgot the details. But this is the gist of the thing, and it gives you some small insight into the twisted discussions I have every day. It made me laugh to do Pooh's voice, telling Piglet that his time has finally come. I guess the other possibility is that Pooh and Piglet have some kind of Lenny/puppy relationship. I don't know. It just made me giggle.
Back to work for me.
