Have you ever watched the Weeping Angels on Doctor Who?
If you haven’t, then the premise is that the weeping angels are a predatory race that resemble statues and as long as you watch them, they can’t move and you’re safe, but the second you blink they’re suddenly on top of you, and they transport you back in time, somehow living off your life energy.
I hate to say this, but I think Kim is a Weeping Angel.
Except … instead of transporting me back in time and living off my life energy when I blink, she suddenly makes new life forms appear instead …
For example, a few years ago, I blinked and suddenly I had a family of monsters …
Then, about a year ago, I blinked again and I suddenly had two puppy dogs …
Can you see them waiting for me to blink … |
A couple of months ago I must have blinked again, because from out of nowhere, we had four chickens (now chooks) …
Blink she’s saying, blink … |
Tell me that’s not a weeping angel … |
And then on the weekend, I must have let my eyes close briefly again … because when I opened them … we had a new kitten called “Boo” …
Blink says “boo” and I shall make a thousand fleas appear. |
As you can imagine, the accelerated pace at which these new life forms are appearing in my life is alarming (even more so when I tell you that by Sunday we also had an infestation of fleas).
I haven’t slept since Saturday and now plan on linving on red bull and coke until such time as I can have my eyelids removed or sewn open so that I never blink again, because Kim is already talking about wanting a sloth …
