Elle to avoid only-child syndrome
"New era of playing": Elle predicts, Animal alliance shows cracks
The prospect of Elle spending the rest of her life saddled by the only-child syndrome, much like her father, is now over. Elle and Belle’s Adventures is pleased to announce that in mid-August our home will have another little soul making us smile and terrorizing the animals.
“I’m told having a new brother or sister will usher in a new era of playing so I embrace this news,” Elle said during a Friday morning news conference.
The news is coming on the heels of Elle’s first birthday where it was quite evident that playing by herself with mountains of toys was just not fulfilling for the enthusiastic toddler. While the information is bound to send shockwaves through the grandparent community, it is hard to ignore the hints that were dropped over the last two months.
The forthcoming synergies between Elle and her future sibling are sure to keep her parents on their toes, not to mention the transformative change that will be brought on the entire household. Having a second baby is being greeted with trepidation by some members of the household.
“I’m not saying that I won’t like this new baby,” said Gribouille, chairman of the Leisure Avenue Pets Alliance. “But really can there not be a clause that says because I was the first addition to the family that I get consulted on any future changes?”
The overweight grey cat and self-appointed cat dictator for life pointed to the long-term emotional stress inflicted on Toulouse as a prime example for pre-baby consultations with the alliance.
There are some cracks showing in the movement with Belle offering a minority report, following Gribouille’s statement.
“I’ve been duly informed that an extra baby means more belly scratches and head rubs, ergo I cannot support the fear-mongering and naysaying from my colleagues,” Belle said, with a slipper in her mouth. “Will this also mean more socks to eat?”
A firm date on the baby’s arrival has not been set, although circle the second week of August. The Elle and Belle’s Adventures will keep everyone posted on any breaking news.
