On a sunny April day Jiji and Coco slumped in their seats “Daaave! We’re bored” they shouted on repeat.

So, Dave sunk a Stella and got up on his feet, he’d show the girls the sights of Norwich and then head to spoons for a bite to eat.

Flying high with excitement, the girls begged to see more. “Come on Dave, finish your steak, you’re being a bore!” With many sights to see-and-saw, the girls laughed with glee and Dave begun to enjoy what originally felt like a chore.

And what day of fun isn’t complete without a game of hide and seek? As Jiji counted to ten, Dave couldn’t help but take a peak. But when she couldn’t find her friend Jiji joked “Daaaaave, you’ve hidden Coco you freak!”

Just then Coco jumped out. She gave a scream and a shout “Daaave, this game is no fun no more. Let’s go for a run about!”

With the sun still shining, the girls skipped along. “Daaaaave you used to be so much fun, what’s wrong?”
Girls…Dave’s an inanimate object, he can’t talk and anthropomorphic objectophilia is no laughing matter…unless you’re having a drink on a Friday night... Having a natter?

“Oooooh yeah, oh fork!” laughed Coco.

She picks Dave up and wraps him around her waist. “Come on Jiji, we better go…go.”

As the sky turns to night, Jiji and Coco begin to sway. Jiji yawns “Dave. perhaps that’s enough forking about for one day...”
