Cereal Mascot Therapy Session

Therapist: It’s nice to see everybody here. Who would like to begin?
Sonny the Cuckoo: Well, I would just like to say that I stopped hanging around with Toucan Sam, and I haven’t touched a Cocoa Puff since May 3rd.
Therapist: Three weeks sober. Congratulations! (all applaud) How does that feel?
Sonny the Cuckoo: There’s a ringing in my ears, and it feels like termites are eating me alive from the inside.
Trix Rabbit: Be strong, Sonny. I know what it’s like to be a slave to cravings.
Captain Crunch: Silly Rabbit…
Trix Rabbit: What did you say?
Therapist: All right, we’re all friends here –
Trix Rabbit: No. Say it to my face!
Therapist: This is a circle of trust! Now, Rabbit, have you sat the kids down and opened the lines of communication towards a mutually beneficial negotiation?
Trix Rabbit: All they understand is Red No. 7, Yellow No. 5…
Therapist: Then it sounds like you have to look out for No. 1.

(mumbles of understanding)

Cookie Crisp Crook: I don’t see why you don’t just pinch it from the little bastards.
Parole Officer: Keep it up. I’m taking notes.
Lucky the Leprechaun: That’s the kind of attitude that encourages kids to steal from me.
Therapist: How does that make you feel?
Lucky the Leprechaun: Ashamed. Flabbergasted. It’s like they’re the smartest kids in the world.
Captain Crunch: Either that, or you’re just the stupidest f***ing leprechaun.
Therapist: Mr. Crunch, you’re out of line.
Captain Crunch: CAPTAIN!
Trix Rabbit: Yeah, like he’s ever really been in the military.
Sonny the Cuckoo: I need a hit…
Therapist: What?
Snap: Looks like
Crackle: Somebody’s off
Pop: The wagon!
Therapist: Snap, Crackle and Pop, we’ve talked about ganging up on others. You need to find your individual voices.
Wendel the Chef (to Snap, Crackle and Pop): What the hell are you guys, anyway?
Therapist: Wendel, you look awfully bitter.
Wendel: It’s the taste you can see.
Therapist: Does this stem from your relationship with the Frosted Mini Wheat?
Wendel: I think he’s bi-polar.
Trix Rabbit: It could be worse. You could work for Raisin Bran.

(The Raisin Bran Sun peeks in through the curtains.)

Raisin Bran Sun: I’ll scoop both of your eyes out.
Therapist: And Tony, how are the anti-depressants working out?
Tony the Tiger: They’re Grrrrreat!
Lucky (whispering to Trix Rabbit): He’s over-medicated.
Sonny the Cuckoo (diving into a bowl of Cocoa Puffs): I’m cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs!

(Toucan Sam comes tumbling out of the closet, his beak covered in blood and cocaine.)

Toucan Sam: Follow your nose!

(He flies into the ceiling fan. An explosion of feathers.)

Count Chocula: I vant my money back.

Footsie

My boyfriend and I had started sleeping together, but hadn't been doing so for too long. We were still getting to know how kinky the other one was. So one night after hanging out he went to go get ready for bed I went and laid down in his bed naked, pretending to be asleep. I heard the door creak open, heard him walk quietly up to the foot of them bed, and begin slowly and... Read More » sensually licking my foot. I froze, completely repulsed and unsure how to react. I turned around to face him, and explain that I just wasn't ever going to be into that sort of thing, and could this even work out? . . .only to find his roommate's pitbull wagging her tail and licking away and my oblivious boyfriend still in the bathroom.
