Take me to Uranus, and let me play among the stars. |
Uranus is a barren, godforsaken planet. There was no sign of life. It was freakin cold until Bumpkin turned up the heat in the temporary life-supporting bubble that she creates for us every time we travel through space.
"Ah, Bumpkin, could you change me?"
"Look buster, I told you. I've changed you for the last time. The adult diapers were my brilliant idea. After that, I hereby retired from changing your poopy drawers. "
"I know, but it would be so easy with your powers."
"You've got 2 hands, buster. Change yourself," Bumpkin suggested.
"Yes, ma'am. Where's the diaper bag?"
"You didn't bring it?"
"No, Miss Bumpkin."
"Well, I didn't bring it. It's not my responsibility; it's yours."
"Oh great. I guess I can't change now."
"You got no one to blame but yourself. Hey! Sloopy! Lucinda! He pooped in his pants, and he forgot his diaper bag!" Bumpkin said.
Sloopy and Lucinda laughed hard and loudly. Soon, all 3 groundhog sisters were rolling around, their little bodies racked with laughter, on the surface of Uranus.
Bumpkin stopped laughing long enough to say, "Didn't you have that big-ass burrito yesterday?"
"Yes," I had to admit.
Now the sisters were convulsed with laughter. I don't care that I'm the butt (no pun intended) of the joke. I just love hearing my girls laugh: on Uranus to boot.
We explored Uranus. Bumpkin took some geological samples that she intended to test. Who knows? Perhaps Bumpkin will build a colony for animals or humans on Uranus. She has so much power and imagination. She's capable of fixing nearly every imaginable, and conceivable, problem. I'm so lucky to have her as a friend. I just wish she'd change me and remember to bring the diaper bag.
“I guess I can’t change now”
