Bob's Zit

A story* by Muffin in an undated time, approximately the third grade.

Once upon a time there was a guy. But this was no ordinary guy, this was Bob. Bob would go through many difficulties and greaticulties. This was a difficulty.
One day as Bob got out of the shower and went in to his room, he went over to the radio and turned it on. To Bob's surprise, the radio burst into song singing, "Cheddar, get down baby, cheddar!" It was Bob's favorite band, The Moldy Cheese singing his favorite song, "Cheddar". Bob was so thrilled he decided to dress to the tune. As Bob unraveled his teddy towel, he got out his special edition under-dog undies and began to up them on in front of his mirror, when all of the sudden, Bob felt as though he was in a horror movie. He noticed an incredibly large, cherry-red bump on the left side of his butt. Bob did not understand. He has always taken such good care of his beloved butt. Bob needed advice, and fast. He called for his pet chameleon, Fred. Fred came loafing (!) into the room, saw Bob's butt, and loafed out.
Bob sat down in his lazy boy chair and began to cry. Bob cried and cried for about ten minutes until his brain worked up a plan. He would call his friend Tutti. He picked up the phone and dialed. As the phone rang, bob tried to sniffle away all his tears and the mucus that had gathered in the back of his throat. Someone picked up the ringing phone and Bob started sobbing. Bob finally finished with "And I need your help!" He waited for an answer from who he thought was Tutti. "You must want Tutti." said the voice. Bob felt so embarrassed he wanted to cry all over again.


*I've always loved writing, but grew up with little writing endurance. I started many a story, but never finished, as exemplified here.
