Dream

I had a dream last night that I was walking Belle and Buffy. As I was walking them through the woods where the wild things are, we were joined by an upright platypus. He introduced himself as Peter and expressed his wish to join us. I tied a leash around his smooth white neck and he waddled along with us, asking me about college and my plans for the future. Belle and Buffy soon tired of our company and, after giving me kisses goodbye, retired to the hammock outside our house. Peter and I walked on until we reached the hill outside the student recreational center. I recognized two girls from Lathrop and wanted to say hello, so I put Peter in a large paper bag and carried him in my arms. Mariah and Leah were in the middle of coordinating their baby showers. I wished them both the best of luck with their pregnancies and we all giggled over our matching orphan-made purses. Before I left, I introduced them to my boyfriend, Peter the platypus. They were very excited to meet him, but he found their tastes in music too unrefined for his liking, so we accepted invitations to their parties and went on our way. The end.
