Tubby’s Exercise Regime

The “new exercise program” that Tubby refers to below is Carl playing with Tubby and Talulah. They wait for him every morning, noon, and night. If it isn’t time to eat, it is time to play.

Tubby: It’s not fair, Mom. You say I have to lose weight so I start a fitness program but you won’t play with me.

Tory: It’s 2am.

Tubby: Exactly! Nearly breakfast time. I need to get exercise in now so that I can be at peak metabolism for digestion when I eat at 4am.

Tory: Five.

Tubby: Daylight savings time.

Tory: Ended a month ago and it would be 1am right now back then—ow!—Don’t bite me.

Tubby: Play. With. Me. Or I will torture Talulah and eat the plant that makes me vomit. I am dying here. Look! I can’t turn over.
