the crazy rabbit lady

cash and qtip had their annual exams today. dr. kim should be calling me back within the next day or so to notify me of their blood test results. I snuck them into my office, where they will serve as my office assistants for the day. thankfully it appears that none of my coworkers are severely allergic to rabbits, so they are quietly keeping me company in my cube. after the initial oohs and aahs over how gosh darn cute cash is, i was asked how many bunnies i have now. which lead me to amuse myself with a little peek into the future:

scenario: chris bemoans the fate of his first true love

it is the year 2042 and chris is enjoying the day with his grandchild chris torres III. as they sat watching the evening news, little chris asks his gramps, "grandpa, isn't that story about the old lady who lives down the street with lots of rabbits?"
"why yes it is. "
"my friends at school call her old maid ona. is that her name?"
"no, little chris. her name is rowena. she's an animal hoarder."
"a what?! grandpa just said a bad word!" the little boy exclaimed.
"no i didn't. i didn't say whore, chris. i said hoar-der. that's a person who has too many pets."
"ok, that's good, 'cuz aidan's dad said she was your girlfriend before you met grandma. that would be soooo gross if she was a whore!"
"don't say that. that old lady was quite a stunner back when i knew her. so many guys would flock to her, but she finally gave me a chance after i begged her so many times."
"so what happened?"
"well, she just kept on getting bunnies. she had one bunny, this white bunny named qtip. then she got another named cash. then some more, patch and kayla. and before you knew it, we had a whole warren! she even had this dog. this super-adorable dog named chewy and even he got overwhelmed by so many bunnies. it got so bad i'd dream of rabbits. i had to leave."
"so then you met grandma and you fell in love?"
"well, not quite. no one was as hot as rowena. she was the best damn thing that happened in my life. in fact, i'd up and leave your grandma right now if i had only gotten a pre-nup. but don't tell your grandma that. or your mom and dad either."
