Goblin: "sigh…" Me: continues working Goblin: more dramatically "Sigh…" Me: I'm going to regret asking "Yes, Lizzy?" Goblin: "No, it's nothing sigh" Me: "Okay then" Goblin: "SIGH" Me: … "What is it, Lizzy?" Goblin: "This is just goodbye" Me: "Goodbye? Are you going somewhere?" Goblin: "My time is up. I am not long for this world. Everything around me… grows dark. I am simply unable to go on…" Me: "Dinner's not for another hour and a half" Goblin: "I now shuffle off this mortal coil" flops dramatically to the ground, weakly saying "good… bye…" Me: "Okay, well I generally appreciate the time we had together." Goblin: springs into my lap and climbs up to look me in the face "I said Goodbye!" Me: "You're still not getting fed."
Me: “Wake up, I need to get up.” Goblin: “No.” Me: “But I need to pee.” Goblin: “Sucks to be you, I’m comfortable.” Me: “Lizzy!” Goblin: “snore” Me: “You just said the word ‘snore’. You’re not actually sleeping… What if I feed you? It’s almost wet food time?” Goblin: “omg, why are you still on the couch?! I’m starving!” waits next to half full bowl of kibble
Goblin: I’m bored. Me: Bored?! I just bought you new toys! Goblin: Yeah, but I beat those games already. Me: Gam… takes a deep breath One of them is a ball that rolls around and waves a tail when you interact with it. You’re supposed to chase it! Goblin: It’s not real though. It’s too predictable. I need the thrill of the hunt, the chase, like my mighty ancestors before me! Me: Yeah, your ancestor was a stray named Kitty Gaga, and your birth name was Husky. I don’t know how mighty… Goblin: What’s up here? OMG, you’ve been holding out on me! This is amazing! And exactly what I was looking for! Me: Ugh, you know you’re not allowed on the table! Goblin: DIE! Pounces dramatically on cloth napkin Me: Sigh
Goblin: I’m bored. Me: I got you a toy to play with. Goblin: omg this is the most fascinating thing ever I must study this Me: I haven’t taken it out of the box yet. It needs to charge first.
Goblin: Oh gods, you’re headed downstairs! This is it! I’ve been waiting my whole life for this! excitedly weaves around feet as I descend
Goblin: You’re up! You need to feed me!! I’m starving!!
