Capybara

The World's Largest Rodent

My fascination with capybara came about one day when my friend Summer and I were on the phone together. We were channel-surfing and chatting at the same time. She finally decided on watching the Discovery Channel, while I watched good ole CMT. All of a sudden, Summer screamed, "COURTNEY! Turn on the Discovery Channel! The capybaras *edit edit edit*!!!" So, on her demand, I changed the channel, and.... well, we'll leave it at... GROSS. So, that became one of our first inside jokes: the capybara.

Then, we decided that when Summer moved to Ireland to open a bookstore, she would have a capybara farm on the side and she would breed capybara. Then, I decided to try to better her: I told her that when I graduated high school, I was going to take over Switzerland and be its beloved princess. I would then appoint Summer my "Capybara Breeder".

So, since that time, the capybara has been the laughing stock of our imaginations.
