A Diabolical Photo Mess

Mommy's got the pictures out

And I'm ready to just shout.

  Bored, bored, bored am I

Staring out the window at the sky.

 

Alone with pictures is dangerous

When I'm making such a fuss.

Mommy will simply scream

When she sees the result of my scheme. 

 

 "Look at this adorable photo, Chase."  Mommy holds the picture in my direction without checking to see if  I am looking.  "This is when we dressed you up for Christmas photos after you were born."
 
I give a great yawn, though she doesn't notice.
 
I'm bored.  Bored, bored, bored!  
 
So bored!
 
Mommy has been at this for two hours.  Sorting photos before gluing them in her picture book.  
 
Meanwhile, I'm stuck by the window with nothing else to do but stare at the sky, at a rock, at the grass, at my toy truck.  Everything that is outside.  Where I would love to be.
 
"Ooh!  Here's where we went to the fall festival and we had that one girl paint a giraffe on your face.  Do you remember that?"
 
Yes, Mommy.  I remember.
 
And I remember crying over and over when you refused to have her paint the cute turtle picture that I pointed to.  And I remember that you ate all of the cotton candy without me.
 
Mommy's phone rings from the kitchen. 
 
"I'll be back in a second!"  She sing-songs and sprints out of the room.
 
Those pictures of me with a painted giraffe make me so mad!  While Mommy is away, I crawl on over and take a look.  Even my frown looks comical underneath that giant giraffe's grin.
 
TOSS!
 
I give the picture a mighty throw...
 
That's when I stop and stare, completely mesmerized.  
 
The picture swirls and swirls like a helicopter's blade.  It swirls to the left, then it takes a steep dive down to the ground.
 
I want to see that again!
 
TOSS!  
 
I throw another one and two more.
 
Swirly, swirly, whoosh, zip...
 
AND crash!
 
This is fun.
 
TOSS!  TOSS!  TOSS!
 
Up in the air I throw as many as I can.  I giggle and clap as I watch each one fly and land.  They zoom to all corners of the room, completely covering the floor.  And all I can think about is throwing some more!
 
TOSS!  TOSS!
 
"CHASE!"
 
Mommy stands at the edge of the room.  Her chin completely fallen and her eyes larger than anyone could assume.  She tries to talk, but can only imitate a codfish out of water.  
 
Are you about to fall over?
 
I wait a second to see.
 
KER-PLOP!
 
Yes, she is.  Yes, indeed.

A Diabolically Messy Microphone

 As Logged By: Agent Rose   Mommy won't stop squealing. She hasn't noticed how I'm feeling.  Go away and let me rest I tell you I'm not feeling my best.   "Try it," she insists.  What will happen if she persists? A new microphone? If only she'd have known.     "AH!  It's here!"   Oh, please.  Be quiet, Mommy.   "Rosie!  Did you hear!  It's here!  It's here!"   Please, for the love of poopy, be quiet.     Can't she see that there are circles under my eyes?  That my glow has dulled?  That my oomph has gone kapoof?   Mommy, stop running around and take a look at me.  Feel my forehead, offer me a drink.  I'm sick I tell you.  I need some rest.  So, please...   STOP YELLING, YOU CRAZY LADY!   "Ooh, I've been waiting for it to arrive, so I can set it up," Mommy explains without a second's notice of how I'm clearly sick.  "Did you know that I used to ...

 As Logged By: Agent Chase    Here is a story of excellence, A true master of eloquence!  One where people will gladly say  That diabolicalness can save the day!   A crazed man with a maniacal plan? He's nothing compared to this old man. An old man with a cane? That can only mean one thing!   Here is a story for you.   One starring a previous diabolical baby, who grew and grew.  Now, he's an old man, but that will never stop his diabolical jam.   Once upon a time...   Two men stood at the edge of an outdoor shopping mall.  “Are you sure you want to do this, Ralph? It’s only fifteen degrees.” “All the better! The chocolate will harden before these Christmas shoppers know what hit them!” Ralph sized up his soon-to-be victims. Especially, Henry’s Chocolate Emporium. “That Henry thinks he’s so special because he won the confection competition. I’ll show him! No one beats me.” “Weren’t you dead last?” “Quiet!” Ralph ...
