Hot Potato with a Bird
from Celebrate Creativity Hosted by George Bartley
Send us Fan Mail NARRATOR (GEORGE): The Toy Museum has its quiet corners— where Squishmallows wait to be hugged, and where a teddy bear smells like home. Tonight is not one of those corners. Tonight, the Night Watchman has wandered into the game aisle— the place where toys don’t just sit and get held. They demand players. They demand rules. They demand noise. [Footsteps on carpet, then a slightly hollo w thunk as he bumps a shelf.] NARRATOR: Board games stare at Mr. Smith from every direction— cardboard boxes promising strategy, mystery, family bonding, or at least a temporary truce. But halfway down the aisle, a smaller box catches his eye. Bright colors. A cartoon pigeon with a wild stare. A plastic bird-shaped shaker peeking through a clear window. The title is simple, and more than a little concerning. NIGHT WATCHMAN: “Exploding… Pigeon.” Of course. Because apparently “calm, soothing pigeon” didn’t test well with focus groups.
