The Gorbilla

For some reason, Troy has decided that he no longer wants to talk to me directly when we’re playing. So, he has designated a third-party representative that I have to speak through to address him. He will hand me the “gorbilla,” and I’m expected to carry on a conversation and play with him all while holding the stuffed gorilla.

Tonight, he was handing the gorbilla Duplo blocks and asking him to build something with them. So, I had to try to grab the blocks and put them together using only monkey hands. The gorbilla also had to ride the inflatable dinosaurs while Troy beat him mercilessly with a T-Rex…similar to what he does with me, or used to. He showed the gorbilla his dinosaur house, played with him in the ball pit, and wrestled with him in the floor. I can’t believe I’ve been replaced by a ten-inch high stuffed gorilla.
