Hello Friends,
It’s spring! School will be out soon. Â I should be happy, but I’m worried. Lately, TT my Terrible talking Tummy is fighting indigestion attacks. I’ve been hearing a lot of crying and complaining.
“Stubb, attention! I tried to keep the BURP BLAST a secret because I love eating. Poor me I’m scared! I don’t think I can out last the blast.
“TT, what’s happening? Why can’t you handle it?
The Blast starts gurgling. That’s the warning sound. Next the gurgles roll into a painful circle. Then more pain and more circles bouncing inside me.
“TT, it’s indigestion. We’ve had that for years.
No, it gets worse. The Burp Blast punches me. It always ends with a powerful, painful punch.
“It can’t be that painful?”
Painful!!!!!!!! I’m not kidding you.
“There is an escape. STOP EATING and filling up the Tank!”
I can’t. We can’t. We are PROFESSIONAL EATERS. It’s who we are. I can’t change. I’ll never change. I MUST FILL UP THE TANK!!!
He’s starting to whimper and cry. “TT, we’ll solve this. Have you heard of SELF CONTROL??? We both need it.
Those are MEAN words and I won’t listen.
“Let’s be a team. When you hear gurgling let me know. I’ll stop eating.”
Can we eat just a little bit. Something . . . half of something . . . a nibbler. . I’ve got to survive. I’m a hungry tummy.
“TT just yell Gurgle Alert. If you don’t, the painful Punch will get you.
In the park we find a table with half a pizza. I eat it. Next I spot an open picnic basket. Â I gobble two ham sandwiches.
TT screams, Gurgle Alert, Gurgle Alert!!
I immediately stop eating.I snap my muzzle closed.It’s seems IMPOSSIBLE but I do it. I drop to the ground and wait and hope.
Stubb, we did it.The Blast is Past!!!!!! I’m kinda full and just a tiny bit hungry.
“TT, you won. We won.”
Super Stubb I like your team plan. We’ll handle the Burp Blast and almost fill up the tank.
I guess when problems come, and you’re scared, it’s good to talk to a friend.
“TT We’re together forever, so I’m glad we’re a team.”
Thanks Kids, for stopping by. The school year is winding down. Enjoy your classes and do a good job.
Stubb and TT
