Be wherrwy, wherrwy qwiett. I’m hunting wabbits.
Ok. Well, not wabbits. And I guess I’m not really even hunting. But I may or may not possibly be at work, so you have to keep your voice down. It’s very officey around here and I don’t wanna get caught being useless.
See, there’s something new in the office kitchen today, or at least something I’ve not seen before. And I need you – yes, you – to help me figure out why it’s there.
What, pray tell, is this?
I’ll come in a little closer for you.
That’s a Shrek Chia Pet, right? Ok, good. I’m glad we’re together on this. But why? Why is there a Shrek-faced Chia Pet in the office kitchen? I’ve got very few ideas on this. Here they are:
- Grab bag gone wrong. At some point, before my time here, the office Secret Santa “unfortunated” some poor soul with this.* To get back at the person who gifted it anonymously, the receiver puts it on the counter, clearly absurd and clearly unkempt by default (there’s not a sprout of Chia on that pet!), in order to drive home how awful of a gift this was.
- Someone likes it. This is a stretch, I admit.
- This office is like the one from Being John Malkovich. There must be a little portal-like hole in a wall somewhere, and someone is sneaking through it, messing with the space continuum and planting inexplicable objects in obvious places.
Got anything better?

*Couldn’t avoid the Disney reference: “… you poor, unfortunate soul…” Guess the movie, win a smile.
Unfortunated! A new word has been officially added to my vocab. Thank you.
Very welcome.
little mermaid- i once played ariel in a play. that was really special.
someone just left that there? weirdo.
*smile* I’m gonna try and do some investigating.
I love that movie! But Ursula scared me a little bit.
I never liked Chia pets because I could never get them to grow. Made me feel like a failure.
Hmm. So it’s possible this Chia is a failed Chia? I did not consider that option.
I think you should bring in a chia Donkey to keep it company. And add to the absurdity. I mean, Shrek doesn’t even have hair???
I feel like I am one bad Christmas gift away from having a Chia Donkey.
And again…Miss Bianca is brilliant. Who makes a chia pet of something that has no hair to begin with?!?! Now, the chia hippie…that was cool.
Apparently the good folks at Chia are not known for their accuracy in portrayal.
I didn’t even realize they still MADE chia pets
I’m not convinced they do. I think the only ones available in stores have been there since 1988.
I vote for choice 3 because it implies there may be a wild way out of work.
Though I love Jersey, being dumped on the Jersey turnpike might suck. So I would have to hope the tunnel led straight to Neverland. Yep, Neverland.
Number 2. Because people are freakin WEIRD, man.
They’d have to be. But damnit: I know you could find stuff in my house to doubt my sanity, too.
I know, it’s crazy! I saw a Chia pet commercial on TV at like 2 am the other day, and for three seconds I thought it was 1993.
1993? Was that commercial followed by one selling used Hammer pants? Cuz that’s how I imagine 1993.
Why?? WHY would someone DO that?!?!!!!!!
Also, movie referenced was the Little Mermaid.
I’m flabbergasted. Flabber. Gasted.
