Spring had sprung, when Baby Joseph’s little feet finally touched down in Texas. The first critter to greet him in the Lone Star State was a bear and no ordinary bear at that. His name was Inside-Out Bear. They called him this because he wore his fur inside out. Can you imagine that?
Baby Joseph about jumped straight out of his Jimmie Jumper when he saw the bear who’s hair was completely inside out. Inside-Out Bear drooled with joy at the sight of his new friend from the Northwest.
Baby Joseph gummed the odd bear’s mushy nose and held him like he’d never let him go. An instant friendship had been born. That night, in his unfamiliar den, Baby Joseph dozed instantly to sleep with Inside-Out Bear’s bug eyes watching his every move , making sure no other scary creatures entered the room. All this starring at Baby Joseph made Inside-Out Bear very sleepy. One bug eye drooped then the other and his furless arms dropped one by one. Snore, snore, drool, snore!
When all of a sudden Inside-Out Bear awoke and sprung to attention. There, hovering over Baby Joseph’s soft newborn head was a one-eyed monster named Uno Dos Verde. The green alien glop dangled from the ceiling from one skinny leg, ogling at Baby Joseph with his uno giant eye and dos gnarly teeth.
“You leave my friend alone monster,” pleaded Inside-Out Bear with his best grizzly bear roar.
“Chill my inside-out amigo. I just want to be muchachos with Baby Joseph just like you.
” How cool was that? In only a few hours in Austin, Baby Joseph had made two friends with out even trying, or crying for that matter.
Then they all heard a faint “click, clack, click, clack, limp, click, clack, click, clack, limp,” coming towards the three amigos from the other side of the room. The boy, the bear, and the monster froze in fear, when all of a sudden a soothing rusty purrrrrrrrrr inquired,”How ‘bout a boost for an old orange cat with a bad leg?” asked Herbert the Cat.
“Sure thing my dusty and rusty old gato friend, “ said Uno Dos Verde, unraveling his green-bean looking arms in assistance.
“I’ll push from behind,” declared Inside-Out Bear, placing both his clawless paws under the aging kitty’s boney frame.
“Thanks my friends,” said Herbert, curling up slowly on the end of the bed, “And who might we have here?”
“That’s Baby Joseph, from Planet Seattle, chirped Uno Dos Verde, “He’s on his first vacation south of the border.”
“Seattle is not a planet my lanky green friend, it’s a country,” explained Inside-Out Bear with complete certainty.
“Which is it a planet or a country?” implored Herbert, giving Baby Joseph a quick tongue bath on the forehead
“IT’S A CITY, IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON Y’ALL, “ wailed Baby Joseph with a sleepy grin. “Now I’m pooped, let’s all hit the sack, it’s been one, long, incredible day!”
“I’ll second that!” yawned Herbert.
“Buenos noches mi amigos!‘Ole’d Uno Dos Verde.
“Rawrrrrrrrrrrrrr,” dozed Inside-Out Bear.
Seven eyelids gently closed, “ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!”
The End.
