Whims

Threatened marsupial populations instinctually flock to higher ground to avoid becoming dinner for frenzying snapdragon yarn munchers.

Most people will tell you that they obtained this particular knowledge from watching one of any number of educational nature programs, because they choose to take in the world through someone else’s lens, satisfied with a few pretty pictures and a soothing voice to assure them that they’ve made the right choice.

Well, I’ve personally witnessed this phenomenon on more than one occasion, and I’ll be the first to tell you that it is most certainly preferable to stay home and leave it to the professionals. I’m just plain tuckered out after all that adventuring and subsequent hiding from those malevolent snapdragon yarn munchers, the inconsiderate beasts. Take my advice, kid: we humans aren’t equipped to withstand Mother Nature’s whims the way we used to (when we had no choice in the matter anyway).
