State of the Bun-ion Address

When we are down to about 45 minutes left of our afternoon, D and I MUST find a way for Little Blue Bunny to - you know - get in trouble. (No, seriously, if I mention the imminence of her parents' arrival, she jumps up.  "Quick, Little Blue Bunny has to get in trouble.")

He was not cooperating.  I think that's because he was in the Christmas Room with his sisters and he was full of the Christmas spirit.

The Christmas Room. This is a picture from long ago.

Then, D discovered that the fuzz from the pompoms she cut up earlier in the afternoon made a perfect wig for Little Blue Bunny.  He looked like (Dumdum DUM!!!) the President.

We looked at each other and we knew!!  Little Blue Bunny was going to take over the White House.

 But first, he needed a disguise.  D got to work making him a black jacket-y thing.  I tried to make a bow tie but, really, has this President ever worn a bow tie? So I quit.  We created the scenario.

Little Blue bunny sat behind the desk in the Oval Office, (A box on the table), when the Pres came into the room, (played by Fiddle-Fi-Fee, a fiddler puppet, who also has reddish hair).  Pres/Fiddle thought LBB was the cutest WH pet ever.

I like this picture so much I put it in twice.

"And I know pets.  I know pets better than any president alive today.  Everyone tells me how well I understand pets.  And this bunny will make the GREATEST White House pet of all times."

He fell for LBB's plan, hook line and carrot.  LBB skipped - or hopped - out of the Oval Office and down the halls of the White House with Pres/Fiddle in hot pursuit.  Finally, LBB dodged into a closet (Ok, a kitchen cabinet.  Our house doesn't have many closets.) The Pres/Fiddle followed and LBB dodged him, slammed the door and locked Pres/Fiddle inside.

Heh heh heh heh heh!

Little Blue Bunny was right on time to make the State of the Bunion Address to the assembly of Congress animals.  He had to stand on the jack-in-the-box for his podium.  But first, he marched into the room to the sounds of Snoopy playing Christmas music on the piano (an electronic music box that I haven't put away yet.)

Little Blue Bunny is not the greatest speaker so here are the important points of his speech.

Little Blue Bunny's State of the Bunion Address.

1.  The State of the Bunion is very painful.  It will be some time before America is back on its feet.

2.  It is time to get rid of the residents of this country who are violent, dishonest, unkind, lazy, selfish and wasteful  These residents MUST GO.

3.  So, beginning NOW, all humans will be deported from the Bunited States of America.  Here are the reasons:

a.  Bunnies are soft, cuddly, peace-loving creatures who never hurt anyone.
b.  People hurt or kill everyone - animals and people.  They lie, steal, cheat, destroy, poison, - they are just plain bad.
c.  ERGO, people must go and bunnies must stay.

Well, the assembled Congress animals LOVED his speech until one of the humans in the group - probably me but it might have been Gramps - said, "Did the president shrink?"

The Pres/Fiddle got out of the cabinet just in time for Mommy to show up and Little Blue Bunny to scamper out of the Capital and home to the dining room.

BTW, the Congress has decided not to deport all humans, until further investigation of Little Blue Bunny's charges.
