Tails of Monkey - Hey Adventure is still waiting

[Catherine]

I can feel the world bouncing over and over as I lay there asleep. "Let me sleep a little longer mom," I say trying to roll over but find the blankets have a death grip on me preventing me from rolling over.

The bouncing is just enough to keep me asleep, well half asleep and not running for a doorway thinking it was an earthquake. Even in my slumber I wonder why people run for the doorways when an earthquake hits. I mean those can come down and in a bad earthquake the door would keep swinging open and close on you until it manages to lock and that wouldn't be pretty at all. Not at all!!! fingers would be hurting and I would be screaming and crying,

"Please just five more minutes, it isn't Saturday but can't we just act like it is."

Still more bouncing and I ask myself, did I fall asleep on a waterbed? It would make sense with all of the bouncing. I have heard people can get seasick on them because of their ability to take the slightest little move and make it worse. Also heard that some have disappeared on them like the Bermuda Triangle but rectangular and not in Bermuda.

"Okay How about ten minutes? I am trying to compromise here," I say eyes still closed with an added little yawn.

The bouncing continued and my stomach was starting to complain. Bouncing is good but this is getting ridiculous. It is like one of those mechanical rides at the stores that parents put kids on thinking they will like it. Yeah it is fun for the first couple seconds but then we realize it isn't going anywhere but by that time it malfunctions and it goes from "I am riding a pony" to "Yeehaw, this bull won't throw me". I set the record by the way, fifteen minutes before I turned green and urped.

"Fine I will get up," I say, opening my eyes to see the world going by silently. I look down because why not and see something, well somethings that I never thought I would see, PYGMIES!
