Hello everyone, it's me Emily. Since kj wrote about cat hairs, I am going to follow the same theme and write about dragons. If you don't understand the connection, all i can say is they are both animals and that's why.
.
So here's my story this week:
.
When kj sees a dragon, which if you don't know this either is just another way of saying she has to face something scary, she either:
.
freezes, and says "I can't handle this", or
.
fights, and gets mad and tries to defend herself, or
.
takes flight, which is when she runs away and puts a pillow over her head and then covers her ears.
.
My father, Mr. Robert Richard Rabbit, works for the National Institute of Health (the NIH) and he told me that this freeze, fight, flight is what people do when they get very scared. It makes me glad that I am a rabbit not a person, because I do it totally different way.

I just hop on the back of the dragon and say gitty-up dragon!
.
Tell the truth: don't you think my way makes better sense?
.
Oh, and maybe one day I will tell you about my father's job at the NIH. My mother and I don't like it.
.
So far kj has paid me a total of $ 25 and I have bought guess how many pounds of jellybeans?
Yours truly for this week and probably for next week too,
Emily V. V. Rabbit

Now that is the way to handle a stressor, just jump on it. Great advice!
ReplyDeleteI love dragons and this post. I have two dragon tattoos. I got them at a time when, in my life, when everything was unsure. My dragons give me strength and courage. Great post!!! (Loved the pic, hilarious!) Blessings!
ReplyDeleteHi from vancouver, that's closer than the Netherlands I guess.......
ReplyDeleteI love you sitting there riding the dragon, that the way to handle fear, just enjoy the ride......
I just love that picture!
You enjoy al those jelly beans!!
Love and HAW to you!
>M<
roflol, you are a treat ms emily rabbit. haw to you and kj too.
ReplyDeleteDo you ever share jelly beans with your dragon?
ReplyDeleteI bet you bought 15 pounds of jelly beans, do I win a prize if I guessed right? :-). Dragon riding is the way to go.
ReplyDeleteThat's good advice Em - I'm going to follow those instructions next time a dragon threatens me with its fiery breath.
ReplyDeleteEmily - this is a wonderful story and a great follow up to the Cat Hair story. I mostly jump on the Dragon too but inside I am "freeze,fight, flight" but you know what? I am too chicken to show it so I pretend I am not scared and that is when I jump on the dragon. Mostly. Except if you take me to a tall building and expect me to look out the window. or telephones too. and a few other things.
ReplyDeleteOther than those things - most people would think I wasn't scared of anything.
But I am...
But your dragon is pretty and stylish. Looks like you'd only have to buy her a pair of shoes to 'slay' her! I wonder if she wears alligator pumps?
ReplyDeleteI like your way of thinking and your approach to life in general.
(I think KJ's behind in her payments, no?)
:*}
37 pounds of gourmet jelly beans?
ReplyDeleteAnd I lost my instinct of fear and flight long ago and willingly stick with the only option left me now I am simply smarter in the methodology of the battle tactic these days.
Emily....
ReplyDeleteI wanted to give ya a hug and tickle...I missed you...Your rolling in the dough girl...Ive been writing everyday in my moleskin....he he he...who knows when I grow up maybe I will be a writer like KJ....Or a jelly bean sorter for Jelly Belly...
Love ya emily xoxoxo
I understand what human beings do when they got scared to death, they either freeze, flight or flight, after the adrenaline is realized in their body. Same happpens with a rabit like yourself.
ReplyDeleteBut rabbit decided to use a strategy, use it s brain. So he puts the dragon in the middle to save him from being scare and risking being harm. Pretty wise for the size of it s brain and also persuasive kind of ways.
