Tiny Scarecrow Blog Entry - My Big Meltdown!

I'm glad there were no documentary cameras around to catch this one. Whoo, this was worthy of the second half of "Behind the Music" for sure. You know the part where the band starts to experiment with alternative forms of music, like putting kazoos and lion sound effects into the songs, and then all the band members start to get angry with all the other band members and they call each other names and they are generally cranky, and then there are rumors that the band will not play anymore, and then the rumors turn out to be false but no one believes it, and then the band goes away to Alaska or Singapore or somewhere and then they come back but when they do they've decided to record nothing but spoken word albums and so all the fans get really confused.

You know that part? Well, my big meltdown was kind of like that. Except I did not get to go to Singapore.

Did you ever notice how Chocolate ice cream melts so much faster than Vanilla or Strawberry or ANY of the other flavors? Boy, I wish I had remembered that the other day. It was so hot here at the farm and Buford came by and said he was going to get some Ice Cream and did I want any? Of course I said yes, you would have to be crazy not to take someone up on that. Then .. he asked me what kind I wanted.

Chocolate was a bad choice.

I love the flavor, don't get me wrong. Buford got Butter Pecan. Dusty got Vanilla. Buttermilk got Cherry Vanilla. I got straight up Chocolate, just as Choco-licious as you can get. As soon as the stuff hit the air it was melting all down the cone and onto my hand and I had to walk with it held way out in front of me so it wouldn't drip on my shoes. I got an extra napkin but it was no use. WHY DOES CHOCOLATE MELT SO FAST? It makes no sense to me. Everyone else was fine and I needed three wet wipes just to get my hands not to feel sticky.

That, my friends, is a big, BIG meltdown. Big as they come.

Old MacDonald said I could have Mint Chip as a replacement, though. So the day wasn't all bad. I had it in a bowl, just to be safe.
