Bumpkin Wumpkin |
"Let's play Frisbee," Bumpkin said.
"Great idea, Ms. Bumpkin," I said. I located the Frisbee and tossed it to Bumpkin, who caught it with her superpowers: not her paws.
"Get to steppin'," she said to me.
"Yes, ma'am." I jogged away from my groundhog house guests. Once I determined I was far enough away, I turned around to look for the Frisbee. As soon as I did, it struck me in the face at great velocity. It not only knocked me down; it knocked me out. Once I came to, I saw the sisters standing over me. They were trying to hold in the laughter, but they weren't succeeding.
"Are you okay?" Bumpkin asked me.
"I think so," I replied. "But I don't know if I'm up for anymore Frisbee. Could we eat now?"
"Of course," Bumpkin said. She used her powers to spread the blanket and set things up. I reached for an apple, and I felt something hit my hand: hard. I put off grabbing that apple.
"Ah, Bumpkin," I said. "Did you just slap my hand with your powers?"
"I sure did."
"Why, Bumpkin, why?"
"Because we haven't said grace yet. I want you to do the honors."
"Yes, ma'am. Dear God, we thank you-"
"Wait a second," said Bumpkin. Who is this God you're thanking? Is she a human or a groundhog?"
Bumpkin is deadly. She's already hit me in the ass with one of her fireballs of destruction. Which is why I said, "She's a groundhog, of course."
"Good answer. Proceed."
"Yes. Thank you for this food we're about to eat. Amen."
"That was pretty short, buster," said Bumpkin.
"Well, sometimes less is more. Bumpkin, could you please pass the pickled peppers?"
"Certainly," she said. The pickled peppers flew out of the jar and hit me in the face, which led to great gales of laughter emanating from the 3 groundhog sisters.
"Good one, Bumpkin," I had to admit.
"You make it so easy. You asked for it," she replied.
After some more hijinks and shenanigans, all perpetuated by Bumpkin, we feasted. Then we went for a stroll. I never thought I'd be able to look at the Earth from the moon, but, thanks to Bumpkin, that's exactly what I was able to do. I saw something. I pointed to it. "Look at that," I said. Sloopy and Lucinda looked, but Bumpkin didn't bother to do so. It was headed toward us. "Do you know what that is, Bumpkin?" I asked.
"Of course. I summoned it from the Earth. It's an adult diaper: for you. I'm sick and tired of changing you after you poop yourself during space travel. You will wear it during the trip back to Earth. And if you poop your pants, you will have to stew in your own juices until you get home and change yourself for a change."
"I don't really need to wear it, Bumpkin."
"Phooey! You've pooped your pants twice now, and I've changed you twice! You will wear it: end of discussion!"
I knew she was in no mood for an argument, so I put it on. And, sure enough, I soiled it on the way back. "You were right, Bumpkin," I had to admit.
"Of course! I'm always right! I'm Bumpkin!"
"I know that you're tired of changing me, but could you please just do it once more?"
"Heck, no! I thought I made myself abundantly clear! I've changed you for the last time! Now stew in your own juices! It's what you deserve for not being able to control yourself! How come you're the only one? My sisters are able to hold in their poop."
Right on cue, some poop fell out of Lucinda's butt.
"Holy crap! Give me a freaking break!" said Bumpkin.
