Transcript

Thing my humans do that make absolutely no sense to me as a house hippo. Part 5. Sometimes they start randomly speaking in code. Should we take 'em on a Wheel of Fortune? I'm standing right here. Why have we suddenly switched to Wheel of Fortune? I don't know what you're planning, but your suspicious tone and eye contact directly concerns me. They tell me not to beg, but it's not my fault they reward me every time I look so clinically devastated. Why on earth would I stop? This case has an excellent return on investment. I'm a house hippo, not idiot. Mom is constantly petting my eyeballs and saying, let me get your boogies. I don't know why I never touch the mysterious crust in her eyes. I've noticed it. They taught me to perform tricks in exchange for treats. But somehow they expect me to listen when they're empty-handed. I'm not responsible for your budget cuts. If I don't see proof of funds, I do not perform the service. I'm three years old and I still don't understand these strange creatures. Hit that follow button and I'll keep you updated on my complaints.
