Bunnie’s Birthday

Today is Mother’s Day, and I received a letter from Mom in the mail. Basically, she wanted to know why she was writing me instead of me writing to her! 😛

Dear Jeff, It's Mother's Day, so why am I writing you? You should be writing ME! Write! -Mom

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! 🙂

I found a note in a bottle on the beach, from a big brother to a little brother. He says that Mom worries about them both, so they should go home for a visit. It almost sounds like it could be a Mother’s Day-related note, but I’m not sure if it is or not.

To my little brother, I'm going home later this month and you should come, too. Mom worries! -Your big brother

Today was also Bunnie’s birthday, so I hopped on over to her party. I gave her a modern chair that I bought at Nookington’s. She really seemed to enjoy it, and she gave me a cabana screen.

Bunnie: I wouldn't sell our friendship for a bazillion bells, J-puff!

Mathilda was also at the party, which is getting to be a common sight. She was also at Margie’s party (this year and last year) and also Victoria’s party last year. Maybe she’s Forest’s party planner. 😛

There was one aspect of birthdays that Bunnie didn’t care for, though: She’s afraid that she won’t be cute when she grows up. Aww, poor Bunnie, don’t worry. You’ll still be cute!

Bunnie: Growing up is fun. But I wanna be gut-wrenchingly cute forever!

Goldie wanted to move out of town for some reason, but I was able to talk her out of it (after several tries).

Antonio wanted to have a competition to see who could catch a common butterfly first, and I agreed to the challenge. I just didn’t know how hard it would actually be! Perhaps because of how few flowers I currently have in town, I had trouble finding butterflies. And when I did see one, it was a yellow butterfly or a tiger butterfly, not the white “common” one.

So it took me more than 20 minutes, but I did eventually catch the common butterfly. I returned to Antonio, and thankfully, he didn’t catch one yet…so I won. He gave me an exquisite rug as my prize.

Antonio: What?! You caught one already? That's insane!

I posted my latest Wild World video episode today. It features highlights of things that happened in Forest from the end of December through early April. I hope you enjoy it!

The Latest Gossip

Last night, I started up the game and left it sitting briefly. I was checking something before I picked up the controller. But the game quickly captured my attention when I heard a UFO flying overhead! I grabbed the controller and chased it down, but it was too late to get my slingshot out. One of these years, I’ll shoot it down again. 😛

Gulliver's UFO flies overhead in Animal Crossing: Wild World.

You know what’s weird, though? I get occasional UFO sightings, but I can’t even remember the last time I saw a balloon present in this game! In fact, it’s been almost three years since I’ve mentioned a balloon present in the blog! And if I shot one down, I almost surely would have mentioned it.

I played again today, and Big Top was talking about how Benedict and Antonio are such close friends. He said that they were wearing matching wallet-print outfits yesterday. But that wasn’t true at all! I even checked my recorded footage from yesterday, and they were wearing completely different outfits. 😛

Big Top: They were wearing matching wallet-print outfits yesterday!

He said it was lame of them. It sounds like Big Top is just jealous of their friendship.

Big Top: It was sooooooo, well, lame, actually!

Katrina was in town, so I entered her tent to get my fortune told. She dealt the “midnight” card and then started talking about a fox with a knack for art. I started seeing Redd when I realized I paid 100 bells for this nonsense. 😉 As far as I could tell, her fortune didn’t mean a thing. She’s a con artist just like Crazy Redd. 😛

Katrina: A fox with a knack for art paints images on a piece of litmus paper...

Today’s gossip came from Bunnie. She said that Big Top called Margie by his ex’s name, and they’ve been fighting ever since.

Bunnie: So the whole fight started when Big Top called Margie...

Bunnie: his ex's name by accident, tootie!!!

My next Wild World video episode will be up in the next few days, so keep an eye out for it!

Clean That Pigsty!

May has arrived, and Mom sent me a nice letter talking about the warm May sun…and sandwiches! 🥪

Dear Jeff, The warm May sun and gentle breeze make me want to dust off the picnic basket. Sandwiches for all! -Mom

The flea market was held today, and Rolf couldn’t wait to buy my stuff. When I ran into him near town hall, he ordered me to clean my pigsty of a house!

Rolf: I'm gonna shop for stuff at your house next, so you'd better clean that pigsty!

He seemed a bit angry…though I’m not sure why.

Rolf: I'm gonna be a guest in your house, dadblastit! Grrrolf!
No you’re not.

As I’ve mentioned before, I don’t care for flea market days, because animals in their homes only care about selling you things. They won’t just talk normally. When I told Margie I didn’t want to buy anything, she got depressed. So when I went into Bunnie’s house, I decided to buy something just to be nice.

Bunnie: Oh, YAY! Well, you can just touch what you want, like, whenever you're ready!

I asked about the lovely chair, and she sold it to me for 650 bells.

Antonio was all packed up and ready to move out of town, but I got him to change his mind on the first try. I still need his pic before I let him go.

Antonio: My brain's all bamboozled... Maybe I should rethink the whole thing, wee baby!

I went down to the Roost, where K.K. Slider was performing. He played Cafe K.K. for me, and I enjoyed the show.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: Cafe K.K.!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, everyone! I’ll see you next time.
