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.
