gnomiI came home tonight to find that mabfan had bought me a (slightly early) birthday gift: a really, really big plush penguin. It's over 2 feet tall, and it is quite cute. And after I squeed the squee of the newly en-penguined, I brought the giant penguin into the bedroom to integrate it into our stuffed animal menagerie.
Now, you must understand -- there's something of a hierarchy in our stuffed animal menagerie. We have a stuffed lion cub puppet that we got a number of years ago at Arisia. We named it Leonardo (many of our animals have punny names; the lion cub's full name is Leonard DiCatrio. We have a bison named Freeman; we have a polar bear named Coordinates and a giraffe named Vander). Leonardo (or Nardo, as he has become known) fancies himself the king of the animal menagerie, and he considers every other animal to be his potential snack. So asmabfan held the new penguin, I took out Nardo (who is, as I mentioned, a puppet).
The following conversation ensued:
Me: Nardo, we have a new penguin in the household.
Nardo: Penguin snack!
Me: You'd better see the new penguin before you decide.
mabfan moves the penguin into Nardo's "line of sight."
Nardo: And I, for one, welcome our new penguin overlords.
