For my birthday, my niece, who was not yet 3 at the time, got me a tiger. (It's a puppet.)
Not knowing about this puppet, last weekend, my dear friend Amanda got me a dragon. (It's a finger puppet.)
Tonight, the three of us had a fantastic display of our abilities as thespians.
Fast forward to the conversation between me and my roommate:
"You know I'm losing it when my finger-puppet and my hand-puppet are talking to each other."
"Huh? What are you doing?"
"They're performing a play. Hamlet. But they aren't very good; neither one of them's read Shakespeare."
"What about Puff the Magic Dragon? Or Eurika's Castle?"
"He doesn't like to be type-cast!"
"...oh..."
"I don't blame him!"
"I think you've gone crazy."

I used to have a white dog puppet named Gus.
ReplyDeleteI probably still have him, up at my parents' house, with a few other buddies. No current puppets in Brooklyn though.
Perhaps for the best as I think some puppets are creeeeeepy.
