Day 145: Sock Nation

Look at his cute little bunny paws! And his fierce little bunny maw.

Butters has really taken a liking to my sock collection. I had a bunch of old socks that I don't really wear anymore and I threw them on the floor for a while for lack of a better place to put them/ too lazy to really be concerned with it. But they seem to serve a purpose now. Butters will claw at the pile of socks and try to make a little sock bed for himself, or something, I'm not really sure. There doesn't seem to be any sort of real benefit from what he does with the socks. I think he just likes being silly.

The other day I caught him with a sock in his mouth and he looked at me, then threw his mouth upward and started waving the sock in the air. Then he leaned up on his hind legs, still holding the sock high, waving it proudly like it was the flag of his homeland. But soon the sock's weight threw off his balance and he started falling backward. He refused to drop the sock and so he fell straight into the ground. The sacrifices he made for that sock, just... it was inspiring. And also hilarious.

He has now collected a few socks in his favorite spot under my bed, where he just sort of stares at them and admires them for their softness and cuddliness.

So open your eyes and mark down for recognition
All your twisted thoughts that led to this decision.
Now salvage.

Song: "Hands Up Baby" by Camera Obscura. A dark and haunting duet detailing a pretty dysfunctional relationship. It's intriguing to listen to the vocal tradeoff as they each sing their side of the story.
