Blimpy and the Butterball Baby (Silly Story Challenge)

by Tad Winslow

Josephine is growing. Sure, she’s pregnant and that’s expected—but my god. She’s one sugar cube away from a full-blown double chin.

That’s my sister I’m talking about in the first paragraph—the obese pregnant one. If she ever got a hold of this journal entry my lungs would surely collapse after being sat on, so let’s keep this one under wraps.

The truth is I’m a victim of sibling abuse. Just recently I received the most painful purple nurple of my life after engaging with that bloated rhino.

I’m innocent. I was inspired by how she sweats melted butter after NASA -like lift offs from the sitting position, and because it’s apparent that she defeated the Hulk and ate him. Impressive.

So I thought up a new sitcom and made her the star. I called it, Blimpy and the Butterball Baby. I mean, what a gift of imagination right? Oh no. She lunged at me like a tuskless walrus, grappling my nipple with the pinchiest sausage fingers, and twisted with the violent intent to rip flesh.

How ungrateful!

    LOL , and ow! Never mess with a hormone-crazed pregnant woman! :)
    Love your descriptions, all about grotesque obesity, in a self-depreciating way, as if not to really offend, but to get a point across.

    HAHAHAHA !! That is hilarious, mostly because he deserved it and partly because of how he made fun of her.

    I have 2 say the story is a very discriminatory. I have 2 admit tht most of the funniest stories R going 2 make someone feel inferior. Its either a joke/story about a African Americans, Blondes, Overweight ppl, white ppl, retarded ppl, & so on. Keep tht in mind next time U write another story/speak a joke. Think: Who may hear me/ read this & be high offended. BCuz who knows, their hopes mayb down tht day & then if they hear/read it they may get so depressed tht they kill themselves. Think B4 U speak/write.

    I refuse to feel guilty about this story, and I refuse to apologize. It’s meant to make the reader hate the character telling the story and possibly laugh at the absurdity. There’s a difference between the characters a writer comes up with and the writer himself/herself. I in no way condone the actions of the awful people I sometimes write about, but to blame me for possibly making someone commit suicide is ridiculous and rude.
