Playing Musical Shells

Post by Guest » Fri Sep 28, 2007 12:32 am

My crabs are so wacky. :smt108

One of my Es went underground. She has been down for about two weeks or more. No biggie, right? Well one day up pops a shell, sans Macchiato. It HAD to be her shell. I know she is naked at that point, no doubt about it. (It really concerned me until a few minutes ago, but that's not part of this post.)

The next day, I found Macadamia wearing said shell. The day after that, Pebbles is wearing the shell Macadamia left. (I made sure the remaining shell, whichever that happened to be **sigh**, was close to where Macchiato was down.) Just a few minutes ago, I see the shell Pebbles left behind walking around, and it HAS to be Macchiato wearing it. It's 2 sizes too small. :lol: Macchiato better consider herself lucky b/c little Raindrop was checking out that shell this morning. Raindrop's current shell would be about 3-4 sizes too small for Macchiato. :lol: Keeping track of who is wearing which shell is making me. :confused2: (I'm sure I have you doing the same trying to explain this.)

Yep.... I'm a little [smilie=crazy.gif] after all my babies' changes. They all are wearing each others old shells and I have no idea who a couple of them are anymore [smilie=crybaby.gif] I feel like a bad mommie. Shoot, I'm missing 2 altogether, but I think they have dug under. **cry** It's like one night they all decide to go shopping and try on the same discarded dress. It boggles my mind. :shock:

One of my PPs, Kenny, cannot keep the same clothes on for more than a day. I swear, he is worse than a woman. He actually hangs out by the shell basket. Every day, sometimes twice a day, Kenny has new clothes.
He drives me nuts!

That is TOO funny! Mine are not that bad... But some nights I wonder with all the rustling and clanging. When I first got Darling, she kept trying to get her fat heinny in too small of a shell. Finally, her senses came to her (or discomfort made itself known) and she chose a shell 3 sizes larger and one that fit perfectly. [smilie=laugh.gif]
