Diabolical Daylight Savings

Daylight savings has left this diabolical baby

Wishing for a nap, or two, even three.  Maybe?

The government said they'd fix it.

Why, then, is Mommy buttering my biscuit?

 

Maybe Gobbles can be diabolical.

Except he's not all that maniacal.

Sleep, sleep, sleep, I say.

I'll be diabolical another day. 


Shush!
 
Too much moving through the house.  Mommy and Daddy, SHUSH!
 
The sun isn't even out!
 
"Wakey, wakey, Little Chase," Mommy whispers as she tiptoes closer.  "It's time to get up."
 
Impossible!  As I said, the sun isn't even out!  How could it possibly be going on eight?  How could...  
 
NO!
 
I turn my groggy head to the side.  On the night stand, the little clock flashes eight o'clock.  No sun, no cheery birds chirping, no snuggly warm sun rays stretching through my window.  That can only mean one thing.
 
It's Daylight Savings time.
 
An hour of precious sleep has been nabbed from me!  An hour of plotting and planning and sneaking and SLEEPING.  Gone, all gone.
 
"EEEEHHHHH!"  I screech and turn over on my side.  Away from Mommy's smiling face, away from the dastardly clock saying that it is eight.
 
"I'm sorry, Sweetie.  It's daylight savings time.  Spring forward!  That means we lose an hour," Mommy says with too much cheery attitude in her voice.
 
"EEEEHHHHH!"  I screech right back.  Go to bed, silly Mommy.  The sun isn't up!
 
"Come on, Sweetie.  I've got your favorite buttered biscuit waiting."
 
"GGRRRRRR!"  I debate getting up, but only because I love a good buttered biscuit.  With some honey on top.
 
"Gobble, gobble!"  My favorite turkey comes sprinting into the room.  "Gobble, gobble."
 
"Hang on Gobbles," Mommy pleads.  "No!  Don't run under my.  AH!"
 
Hehe.
 
Mommy trips over my excited turkey, who wasn't even lurking.  He ran under her feet and around and around, until Mommy went down.  
 
Splat!  Onto the floor her behind bounced.  
 
Good, Gobbles,  Good, little turkey!
 
"Harumph!"  Mommy growls and jumps back up to her feet.  "That's it!  You're getting up if it's the last thing I do, Chase."
 
Mommy reaches down and grabs my sides.  Unfortunately, that means...
 
There's something I can no longer keep inside.
 
PPPHHHHHTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRTTTTTTTT!  

There.
 
Was that diabolical enough for you?

Diabolical New Year's Resolutions

 As Logged By: Agent Rose The new year has sprung at last With a party that was a blast. What to do with so much cake? That Mommy clearly didn't need to bake. The time has come for this undercover sweetie To be diabolical with Mommy's sweet tea. It needs a little extra flavor. Some added carrot that she can savor.  What a party!  What a blast!   We rang in the new year.  I partied so hard that I ran out of toots!   Now, morning has come and I am ready for some applesauce.   When I go into the kitchen, however, I am met with a sight that has me gasping in awe.   How many cakes did Mommy make?  Sure, we sang and cheered.  Sure, we invited family and friends.  Sure...   But, it wasn't that many people.   Cakes are stacked here.  Cakes are stacked there.  When did she make a double layer red velvet cake?  I don't remember seeing that last night.   And I thought the piles of Christmas cookies was too much. ...

The Marshmallow Grandma Strikes Back

 As Logged By: Agent West The Sheriff and three babies succeeded! They saved Grandma and the bunnies were defeated. But Grandma knew the bunnies would come back. Who can resist a delicious marshmallow snack? Marshmallows, marshmallows everywhere Until the bunnies start to shout, “Beware!” A magic spell that turns them into marshmallows too? Sounds too far fetched to be true.     I love the story of how the Sheriff and three babies saved Grandma from the marshmallow crazed bunnies almost as much as I love blowing a good spit bubble. But, Agent Chase left the best part out.   Do you want to know how that Grandma made sure they could keep going camping and keep roasting their marshmallows without ever fearing of another bunny attack?   As the story goes: The Grandma, the Sheriff, and the three babies all cheered.  They hooted and tooted that they escaped the crazy bunnies' lair.   "That was some stench!"  Grandma c...

Diabolical cabbage and beans

 As Logged By: Agent Chase With   The Puppy The Puppy was right, I admit There was no way to go through with it. Getting everyone to eat cabbage and beans Would have been impossible, by all means. However, we’ve devised another plan. In this temporary truce between dog and man. The Puppy has many friends, you see. Who are willing to eat cabbage and beans, whoo wee!     For weeks I have been saving every scrap of Mommy’s famous cabbage and beans dish, keeping none for myself.  (Not that I want any after the last gas catastrophe.) The toy bin is filled to the rim and it’s starting to smell, but the Puppy reassures me that his friends will still dig in. “Oh, Marge, this was a wonderful idea,” one of Mommy’s friends says as she waves her hand around. “A block party for everyone and their dog. How did you think of it?” “It’s the funniest thing. I saw Chase playing with a magazine that happened to have an article about thro...
