Okay, swimming pool and fur doesn’t mix. I decided to go swimming today since I didn’t have to be at practice. I wanted to see how my new body worked in the pool. It was a learning experience. I had to cover my long ears with a swim cap. Then I had to get used, to using my bunny feet.
It took me an hour-n-half to relearn how to swim in my new form. My eyes didn’t like the chlorine water that much, so I must wear goggles whenever I go swimming in the pool. I also had to find a powerful hairdryer to dry my fur. That took forever to do as well. Yes, I know when I take a shower, I must dry my fur off. However, when you are getting out of a big body of water and are dripping water everywhere because your body is acting like a sponge mop. That’s a different story.
Currently, we’re in Cleveland, Ohio getting ready for a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The players were a little uncomfortable when they saw me, but once we started practicing, I whipped their butts so badly, they wanted a rematch to prove they could beat me.
The guys on my team thought it was funny and hazed the other players. They took the practice lost pretty well and gave me more credit. The other team couldn’t believe I was an actual humanoid bunny from the movie Space Jam.
Going out in public is still a pain sometimes. Getting my picture taken and such. I don’t mind it so much when the children come up to me and ask to take selfies with me. I’m a sucker for children. Some of them are nice and others, well let’s just say their parents should teach them better manners.
I had a few grabbed my tail to see if it was real or a fake. I wanted to smack them, but I didn’t. It wouldn’t look good for me or the team. However, I’m not going to stop taking selfies with children. If I had a weakness, it would be them.
As for the hurtful comments I get from some of the small-minded people. I just ignore them and imagine that a big meteorite would fall on them. Sometimes, I wish I had some of the super abilities that my great-granddaughter had.
Having abilities like hers and her friends would come in handy dealing with the haters. One blast and their down for the count. However, for now, I’ll just ignore them and pretend a meteorite will drop on them.
As for how I am dealing with the change. Life may be difficult now, but I am adjusting and learning. I do wonder if someone asked for a Bugs Bunny suit and became him. Anyway, I have a practice I need to head too.
