Day 15. May Mania Challenge

Do you own an adult onesie and if so, when do you wear it?

Because I have not, nor ever will, I present a little humor.

Most adventures begin with a masked man sitting on the back of a white horse as it rises on its rear legs.

In the evening, having saved a township from bandits, the masked man and his faithful sidekick, Tonto, find a place to camp before tomorrow’s adventure.

Tonto isn’t the smartest native Indian in the wild west, but he knows how to build a fire. (Now that I think about it, Kemo Sabe isn’t that clever, his horse is white, but he insists on calling it Silver.)

Tonto, when he isn’t riding at Kemo Sabe’s side, is a fence painter, as will be envisaged looking at the paint left on his face.

Having found a place to camp, Tonto returns with an armful of kindling, secured by a rubber band that he usually keeps wrapped around his head. Kemo Sabe has removed his mask, thrown down his hat, undone his spurs, kicked off his boots and changed into a Onesie.

“What you wearing, Kemo Sabe?” Asked Tonto, wrapping the rubber band back around his head and almost ready to light a fire.

“This is a Onesie, faithful partner, it will keep me warm on these cold western nights,” Kemo Sabe replies.

“So, me no light fire, Kemo Sabe? You already warm.”

“Tell me, old friend” what did the doc over in Tombstone say?”

“While we were on Holiday, that doc, Kemo Sabe?” Tonto questions.

“Yes, Tonto, that one.”

“Well…he diagnosed you with cancer, Kemo Sabe, bad spirits,” replies his painted companion.

“After all your years of wisdom, Tonto, what do you think I should do?”

“Well, Chemo sabe, maybe keep your friends close.”

“Exactly, Tonto.”

After they got their tent set up, both men fell asleep tucked into the Onesie for two.

A few hours later, Tonto wakes Kemo Sabe from spooning.

“Kemo Sabe, look toward sky,” Tonto says.

“I’m so snug and warm in our Onesie, Tonto, but I see a beautiful clear sky with millions of stars.”

“Do you think it’s a message, Kemo Sabe?”

The snug Kemo Sabe looks at the sky and ponders for a minute.

“Well, Tonto, from an astrological point of view, it tells me there are hundreds of thousands if not millions of galaxies in our universe and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. What does it tell you, Tonto?”

“It tell me someone stole our tent, Kemo Sabe!”
