When Puppets Attack

When Aunt Jancie sent Delaney some puppets recently we kind of knew this would happen. Puppets are notoriously violent toys. Here is how it all went down.


We were all minding our business as a little girl puppet came walking by in our living room.
We said hello to her and she turned. The gaze said a little more than a return 'hello'. We saw her formulating a plan of attack.
Sure enough, she attacked. The events which followed are now kind of blurry. We did our best to fend her off.
She followed me into the kitchen. I tried to appease her with a tastey snack, but she was consumed with battle-lust. She cried havoc and let slip the dogs of war.
Here she is letting slip the dogs of war on my head.
Delaney came swiftly to my aid. But she was surprised when a second puppet entered the fray. In the distance, Greyson yelled, 'Hey come pick on someone your own size, puppets'
His concern grew as they approached and he saw that they were in fact larger than his own size.
But he leaped into action. He latched on to that puppet's nose with the fury of Beowulf.
The little puppet was reduced to tears and the attack was over. What happened to the second puppet? Greyson's fury was so great that we cannot show you the outcome. Needless to say, our family is now safe from puppets.
