Filbert Being Weird

Believe it or not, I actually remembered to play on Monday for Caroline’s birthday. 😆 First, I stopped at Nookington’s to buy her a present (an extinguisher). 🧯 Then I went to the party…and Dotty was there too. Last week, Dotty hinted that she was the one throwing the party for Caroline, and maybe she actually did! (Or more likely, it’s just a coincidence, but I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt.)

Caroline, at her birthday party: Thanks! You've both made this a really special day. I think I'm going to cry!

Caroline seemed to love the extinguisher, oddly enough. (And if she accidentally starts a fire while lighting her candles, we’ve got that covered.)

Caroline: I've wanted one of these for so long now! I don't know how to thank you!

It looks like the party was a big success. Happy birthday, Caroline!

Saharah was in town, and I helped her out by making deliveries to Mabel, Pelly, and Tom Nook. Saharah then rewarded me with a western vista.

Yesterday, I listened in on a conversation between Filbert and Octavian. And wow, Filbert is one weird squirrel. He kept telling Octavian to breathe on him.

Filbert: Hey, I know! Would you do me a favor and breathe on me, bucko?

Octavian obliged, and Filbert said that Octavian smelled like his grandpa. These conversations are so insane. 😆

Filbert: ...DUDE! You smell exactly like my grandpa, bucko!

Octavian then asked Filbert if his grandpa ate liver and onions every day. Well, I guess that explains the mystery. Yuck. 😛

Octavian: You're weird, Filbert. Did your grandpa eat liver and onions every day?!

Eloise was still sick on Monday, so I gave her some more medicine. But by yesterday, she was finally feeling better. She thanked me for the help by giving me a broken post.

Eloise: Please take my broken post!

Today, Filbert was talking about bugs, and how magical they are.

Filbert: I think bugs are sooo magical, bucko.

He even said that spiders are like wizards, but with more legs. 🤔 See, I told you this guy is weird. 😛

Filbert: It's like some kind of wizard, but with more legs!

He wanted to compete to see who could catch a spider first, but I declined. Catching a spider involves shaking trees, usually lots of trees, and probably getting stung by multiple bees in the process. No thanks. Maybe another time.

Nookington’s had an Arwing (from Star Fox) as a spotlight item today, which is cool. But I’ve already bought one before, so I didn’t need it.
