Dude! You’re an Octopus!

On Tuesday, Inkwell told me he was looking for something about the same size as his eel.

Inkwell: I'm looking for something about as big as my eel.

So I showed him my soft-shelled turtle, and he was surprised at how small it was!

Inkwell: It's smaller than I thought.
Excuse me?

So I gave him a balloon sofa that I shot down from a balloon present, and he loved it. He rewarded me with a kiddie table.

Yesterday, Cherry told me she’s heard I’m a pro listener! I’m just glad I’m not a bell-pincher any more (at least for the moment). 😛

Cherry: Everyone's saying Jeff is quite the pro listener!

Later on, I listened to her when she suggested I join her on the bench.

Today, Inkwell was talking about wet suits. He seemed disappointed that they don’t make wet suits that would fit him. I was thinking… “Dude! You’re an octopus! You don’t need a wet suit to swim and dive!”

Inkwell: But I don't think they make a wet suit that can contain my muscular form.

Gulliver was down on the beach, talking about Big Ben. So I knew he was headed to England, and he’ll be sending me a gift in the mail.

Gulliver: ...England! That's it! That's the country I was headed to!

Molly asked me for a shark, which is no easy task to complete. But in my case, it was easy…because I had one in my dock storage! I promptly took it back to Molly, and she was impressed.

Molly: Wow! A shark! This must have been tricky to catch. Thank you!

She rewarded me with another copy of her photo, which was a nice gesture. Unfortunately, I still haven’t had any luck getting photos from Inkwell, Cube, Cherry, or Jeremiah. Maybe one of these years. Inkwell is especially taking a long time; he’s been in Forest for almost two years!

Cherry said she was thinking about leaving town, but I made her change her mind. It’s far too soon to even be thinking about that.

Power Hide-and-Seek

Last Sunday, I noticed a double balloon present floating by, and I shot down a silver slingshot. I didn’t need it, of course, but it was hard to resist shooting it down. 😛

I found a lost item (a bag) on the ground, and I returned it to its owner, Cherry. She said her donuts were inside! 😮

Cherry: I hate it when I misplace my donuts!

To thank me, she gave me a yellow-bar shirt. Why not give me a donut instead??? 🍩

On Thursday, Saharah was in town. I paid her 3,000 bells to install a rococo wall and red tile in my house.

I found Gulliver washed up on the beach Saturday, and he was talking about mermaids and vikings. So I reminded him that he was headed to Denmark.

Gulliver: ...Denmark! BINGO! You're right! That's exactly where I was headed!

He sent me a mermaid statue in the mail yesterday. I later gave it to Inkwell when he asked for some new furniture.

Today, Inkwell wanted to play a game of “power hide-and-seek.” I’m not sure how it’s different from regular hide-and-seek, but I agreed to play anyway.

Inkwell: Huh! What are you laughing about? Power hide-and-seek is a real thing! It's a total-body workout!

Almost immediately, I found Cube hiding behind his own house. I was so quick that the “start” banner was still on the screen. 🤣

Finding Cube as the Hide-and-seek start banner is still on-screen.
If that isn’t a “power” move, I don’t know what is. 😉

After two minutes had passed, I found Rolf behind a perfect peach tree near the Roost. And another minute after that, I found Inkwell behind a tree near the entrance to the campground.

Inkwell, shocked: What?! How did you f

Inkwell gave me a pendulum clock for winning the game.

After doing a favor for Cherry, she rewarded me with a cherry tee! How appropriate! Thanks, Cherry! 🍒

Cherry: A cherry tee! Wear it if you want! What what!
I just need to change that catchphrase of hers.

I was ready for a new shirt, so I put it on right away.

I’ll be back with another entry later this week! Hope to see you then. 🙂
