Introduction
Sometimes it's good to take a break, and have a little fun.
The mailman had a big box from element14 for me ... containing Minion Dave, Minion of the Week #1 !
Big, soft and funny
Dave's a big minion. He's about 21cm tall. He has a soft rubbery skin, likes to laugh and make funny faces.
Noisy
But Dave is also noisy. When in company, he cannot keep his mouth, he just has so much to say (about 55 different things to be more precise)!
Dave and I were getting to know each other, while my wife was watching the news. She told us to be quieter.
Unfortunately, Dave can only yell, no way to tell him to quiet down. So we ended up shutting our mouths until after the news ...
And, uhm, ... gassy
After all that chatting, Dave got hungry. He told me he likes bananas. So, I got some and fed him.
Problem is ... after a couple of bananas, het just starts gassing uncontrollably. I don't know if it's a minion thing, but in Dave's case, it's pretty bad!
I compiled some of our first moments together, enjoy (and be glad smell cannot be passed through video!):
Thank you element14 and doctorcdf for this challenge within a challenge, Dave is awesome! (I suspect it won't be long until kids or wife try to claim him as their own ...)
