Pterodactyl Shark Bunny just does not comprehend simple concepts like Hide and Seek.
Pterodactyl Shark Bunny loves to experience new things, but sometimes it just doesn’t work out the way he would like them to.
One afternoon, when I was taking Pterodactyl Shark Bunny on a walk, he saw a few children playing Hide and Seek in a park nearby. He asked me,
“Rawr rawr gurggggggrrrr twitch?”
This translates to,
“What are those children doing over there?”
Once Pterodactyl Shark Bunny learned of the game, Hide and Seek, he was 100% on board for the experience. Before I could explain anything else he had taken off, pulling me with him. I let go of the leash and landed in front of one of the children. She had a mix of awe and fear on her face.
“What is that thing?” She asked.
“My…uh…dog.” I am very quick on my toes.
“But why does it-”
“It has a skin condition.” I said quickly.
She nodded.
“Uh…do you mind if he plays Hide and Seek with you?” I asked her.
“He knows how to play Hide and Seek?!” She asked in awe.
“Yeah…sort of…” I mumbled.
“Sure.”
And from there the children and Pterodactyl Shark Bunny played Hide and Seek. Well, if you want to call it that. Pterodactyl Shark Bunny still hadn’t fully grasped the concept of it. He would hide in plain sight, just covering his body with his two massive wings. Then after he was found (which he always was) he would flap his big wings and take off in the sky, after which the children would always go into a state of awe and then run over to me and ask me an elephant’s weight in questions. The questions would only seize when PSB landed back in the park.
To Pterodactyl Shark Bunny the whole concept of Hide and Seek was to;
- Cover his body with his wings so he couldn’t see anyone
- After he was found, to fly away
- Then come back and repeat the cycle
His real problem came when he kept being told he lost. He is a sore loser, and in his mind he thought he was doing everything exceptionally well. He was slowly losing his temper; a bunch of loud and annoying kids yelling at you is bound to get you mad.
Pterodactyl Shark Bunny reluctantly made me play with him after a while, and it started to be a good game. Until Pterodactyl Shark Bunny decided to sneak attack all the children. It wasn’t intentional though.
Pterodactyl Shark Bunny was voted to be the seeker towards the end of the game. To him it was a great chance to prove his conquering skills. He counted in his own language then ran around trying to find everyone. He found a little boy first, to which he let out his battle cry that scared the boy white. The boy began to run from Pterodactyl Shark Bunny. PSB took this as a challenge and chased down the boy. He caught the boy and put him in a really tall tree. PSB seemed to feel quite accomplished considering he just scarred a child for life. He continued doing this for all the other children then hopped over to me, in his eyes, victorious. PSB pushed me out of the park fairly quickly afterwards. PSB wanted to finish his walk. And that was it, PSB’s first game of Hide and Seek.
(Oh and don’t worry, the local fire department came and rescued all the children shortly after we left)
