Animal Wednesday: Thursday 13 on Wednesday by Emily Rabbit

(This is a surprise until the end...but you can guess if you want)

kj does these Thursday 13's and she thinks they are interesting. I have no comment except she might not be right about that some of the time, but I'm not saying.
.
Anyway, I thought I would just list a few things that are true:
.
1. I love to whine and complain, but then I forget and play.
.
2. Once I made kj and jb cry because there was cooked rabbit on the menu in New York City. I was so shocked I threw myself on the floor and kicked my feet in the air as most of you now know how to do because I gave you lessons. jb told the restaurant person we needed to leave and he said 'fine--that whiny rabbit is not allowed in the dining room anyway.' That was so mean. He treated me like a second class rabbit.
.
3. Money is the radish root of all evil.
.
4. Once I disguised myself as Emily Iguana and won the Iguana Look-a-Like contest. The prize was tropical fruit which I sold for money and bought jellybeans and four devil dogs. I wore a green frilly dress with little white pokadots and added a tail that I painted green with yellow dots here and there and it dragged when I walked.
.
5. I had to hide my ears so I told the judges they were earmuffs and then I pretended I couldn't hear very well. Then the announcer said "And the winner is .....Ms. Emily Iguana!!!"
.
6. This was an easy way to make money. I can be Emily Duck too (see below for why).
.
7. I want enough money to buy candy whenever I want and to bob in the ocean on a rubber tube. I will talk more about the rubber tube when I go to the beach, but for now let me tell you that I bob very well.
.
8. I don't worry about anything unless I am not getting enough attention or something is not fair. Then I will whine or cry and believe me, that works most of the time. Don't forget to try it.
.
9. I have four birthdays: February, April, July, and September or October. I should get four birthday presents but I don't. kj says that even rabbits only have one birthday. How would she know?
.
10. I have three friends in Cape Coddy: Muck, Ruck and Tuck Duck. I met them when they swam up to me when I was bobbing with my rubber tube and they were bobbing too because the waves were too big. I think it was Ruck Duck who said, "Are you a rabbit?" and I said "yes." So then we bobbed for five hours. It was my favorite day. That is how I learned how to be Emily Duck and when there is a Duck Look-a-Like contest I know I will win.
'
11. My mother says, "Emily, maybe you can help kj relax. Why don't you invite her to roll down a hill with you?" I'm thinking about that some more.
.
12. kj is laughing more than she used to for the last year. I heard her say that the more she laughs, the more of a habit it becomes. Sometimes she laughs as deep as I whine, so I know how good it must be.
.
13. See the illustration up top? My very best friend Marianne drew this for me so I could sell it and pocket the money for my own indulgent enjoyment. I know those are big words for a little rabbit like me but I heard someone say 'indulgent enjoyment' at a bus stop once and I thought it sounded very nice. I don't remember why I was at a bus stop since rabbits don't generally use buses, but maybe I had a reason and maybe I didn't. Life is like that sometimes..
.
$ 10 please kj.

  1. Emily, I'm speechless except to say that you're priceless and I think you're good for KJ.
    Let me put it how you might have said it....

    I think I'm good for KJ because well after all I'm a rabbit and rabbits are never bad for anyone unless they stomp and kick and cause a scene and scream for jellybeans and have to call 1-800-bailmyass to get out of jail but most times I'm extremely good for people. I may even be considered an extravagant indulgence for the soul. Cough up ten bucks please.

    I love you Emily! And I love what your best friend Marianne sent you.
    Goodnight you kook!

    Lololo

    Maybe you can take her to roll down that hill.

    Love you. Renee xoxo

  6. Back in the day kj, I totally would have gone for it.

    Now I am so afraid of getting sore or breaking a bone, I barely bend down.

    I know, I could see on a throne and watch you roll down.

  7. That is certinally a beautiful illustration, it reminds me of anemone flowers...Iam enjoying the idea of a rabbit dressed up as an iguana, thats very incredible that you managed to fool all those iguanas! Wow!

    ReplyDelete
  8. lavender, it IS an anemone! you should check out marianne's blog. besides for being my best friend, her mandalas are all amazing. i think you would become a fan of her blog.

    yours sincerely,
    emily r.

  9. Oh, then please put Emily on.

    You are not a stranger kj but a friend.

    And the answer is 'yes and then not bad and then okay.' So there you have it.

    How is your knee feeling. By the way I think Laurel wiill go down the hill with emily.

  10. Dear Rabbit,

    I am of the considered opinion that you are in need of union representation. This article ran 685 words and at ten dollars you are earning only 0.685 cents per word. The going rate is a minimum of 10 cents per word.

    Sincerely

    The UAW

  11. hi em, i can't stop laughing, think i'm gonna pee my pants!!!!

    pleeese pleeeese can i write this in big letters and put it on my blog????'money is the radish root of all evil'

    pleeeeeese, it is the bestest quote i have read in years. you are a real pleasure and a 'pill' for kj and me too. how about i set up a trust fund for you and leave you all my laughs when i die? would you like that?

    ReplyDelete
  12. Emily, I think your kj is most definitely one of the sweetest, funniest and hugely giving people in all Blogland. And as for you - how DARE anyone treat you like a second class rabbit. That is simply outrageous!

    Kj, I have just spent a lovely half hour catching up on your posts - each, as always, an absolute delight. Thank you, too, for the truly lovely award - I'm touched to the core that you would include me in that list of bloggy luminaries. I send a special big bear hug to you and lots of love. xxoo

    ReplyDelete
  13. A second class rabbit!!! how outrageous! I'm going to make Ms Em come over there and know that guy's socks off.
    But I'm with the 10cents/ word - I even think 16cents since you make us all laugh so much. Tell KJ to ante up - but tell her kindly and don't cause a fuss and be a nice rabbit and be good. Your friend mim

  14. dear uaw:

    please send me the paperwork. please keep this a secret for now.
    please do not tell kj.

    do i have to count the words myself?

    thank you.

    sincerely yours,

    emily v. v. rabbit

  15. dear ms. soulbrush:

    how exactly would a laugh trust fund work?

    where would the laughs be stored?

    how would they be distributed?

    do you have a sample portfolio?

    my uncle robert is an attorney and he told me what to ask.

    thank you very much, ms. soulbrush.

    yours truly,

    emily v. v. rabbit

    ps did you pee your pants? i like it if you did

  16. ms tessa, OUTRAGEOUS! that is a good word. i am going to use it alot from now on. thank you very much.

    fondly,

    emily r.

  17. mim, i spoke to kj about extra money and she is pacing in the livingroom. i hope i'm not in more trouble.

    do you think i didn't talk to her in the best way? i said, "kj, it is OUTRAGEOUS that you are so cheap and the current situation is OUTRAGEOUS, plus if the UAW gets involved i would hate to see you respond OUTRAGEOUSLY."

    she is still pacing, mim.

    affectionately,
    emily

  18. Dear Emily!
    Hope you can squeeze out a lot of money for my ATC, so you can indulge yourself with lots of jellybeans and useless pleasures, just for the fun of it.

    HAW!

  19. Emily...

    Smiles,
    Sonia ;)

  20. marianne, you are the best best friend. i knew you would be.

    kisses,

  21. this tasted like a fresh carrot... yummy!
    :)

    and what is the radish root of all good?

    ReplyDelete
  22. sonia, kj is no fun when she is sad. she mopes and paces. when she is not sad she is usually alot of fun, unless she is grouchy, which she usually isn't but when she is i don't like it and i whine. wouldn't you too sonia?

    sincerely yours,
    emily

  23. human being, this is emily rabbit.
    HAHAHAHAHA! you are too funny!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Emily, it's a good thing I adore marianne because I think it would bother me that I'm not your best friend. I think I'm 10th in line if I remember correctly.

    It's a good thing I'm not into status ;)

    I think it's smart that Walking Man brought up the writer's union. That's good ammo to use on KJ!

    xoxo
    Lololo

    ReplyDelete
  25. lololo, not 1oth! you are fourth!
    but who is 2nd and 3rd? soulbrush and sonia? because maybe they wouldn't mind if you were 2nd. why don't you ask them, maybe you can bribe them with your atc's? but being 2nd has certain responsibilities, you know. i am a very sensitive little rabbit. just because i whine and cry doesn't mean i don't have reasons sometimes, right?

    anyway, let me know.

    yours truly

    emily (v. v. rabbit)

  26. I'd roll down a hill with you too, only my long legs have a habit of getting all knotted up with my long ears ... perhaps I could hold your jellybeans whilst you roll down, you wouldn't want to loose any would you and I promise I'd only lick the black ones 'cause their my favs*!*

    ReplyDelete
  27. lapin poulain, ooooooh. i went to your blog and i want to play with you. please send directions as soon as you can. oooooooh.

    harryhare, you can have all the black jellybeans. but what about our band? should i take guitar or singing lessons? should i?

    fondly,
    emily

  28. Hey! You go up North, turn to the left (or is it right)..mmm.. and when you see big lakes, it's not there, so you take a plane and ask them to bring you to Quebec City, then you take a cab and ask for the house of Merlinprincesse. Easy. =:) HOP!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Emily. I think you should definitely learn the guitar.

    A rabbit in an iguana outfit,,,I can see it now,,,ROCK N ROLL Baby!
    A band like no other!

    ps: Did you know that black jelly beans make you pregnant? It's true.
    That's why rabbits have all those babies.
    So it's good you're giving those away,,,,

  30. Emily, I would love to bob in the ocean with you in a rbber tube anytime. You sound like so much fun and you know how to play. Marianne is a wonderful artist.

  33. Emily, I stopped by yesterday and thought I spoke to you, but it didn't "take". Now I forgot what it was I wanted to say yesterday , but it doesn't matter cause it's today anyway. Have a jelly bean?

  34. I am glad to hear you laugh more often KJ, gain some pocket money from Marianne's beautiful Mandala....cool idea too!
    RM20, can I mark up the price, it does worth something!

    Laugh or not this time....Silly me!

  35. I am not sure which made me snuffle out loud more, the story or the comments. Well done and lots of food for though...and when it comes to radishes, I didn't fall off the turnip truck yesterday...that's one of my favorite sayings1
