Say somebunny had a really bad night. Maybe every time she got snug and cozy in her special box - which she'd spent hours gnawing into just the right shape, with nice front and side doors and everything - when her pesky sister showed up and nudged her out of the best spot! Naturally, this hypothetical bunny could never get back into her peaceful slumber for the rest of the night! She might very well wake up the next morning in a cranky mood.
Not that this ever happened to me, of course - this is all purely hypothetical.
But if somebunny did wake
up feeling ornery after a bad night, she just might do something
out of keeping with her normal pleasant personality. Like, oh,
for instance, eating a large hole in the
office rug . . . not that this ever happened to me, but I can
imagine in this hypothetical situation I, . . . that is, "she"
just might do that. Accidentally. While she was ripping the carpeting
up in some dark secluded corner of the room, maybe. I'm just guessing
here.
Or she might - again, just accidentally - nip her big bully sister in the butt when she wasn't looking, causing her sister (let's call her "Eve") to suddenly lurch forward in surprise knocking the food dish over and scattering the nice fresh pellets Mom had just filled it with all over the floor. This might make a lot of noise. And the wild chase that follows this hypothetical incident would probably make even more noise, with rabbit nails slashing across hard wood floors trying to find some traction, cardboard boxes propelled across rooms, and soft bunny bodies thumping into an interesting variety of objects - that sort of thing. This could be disturbing to Mom who, hypothetically, might be trying hard to concentrate on an important job that has to be finished by the end of the day.
It's possible that this noise could be quite
distracting. Mom might even leave her computer where
she's completing her hypothetical job to track down the culprits
and suggest they find some quieter activity. But - and this is
still only hypothetical - the sibling rabbits might already have
made their peace and turned to a more sedentary project like,
oh, let's just say nibbling on some books they found lying around
on the bookshelf. These books might be expensive reference books
that Mom needs for her work - assuming she was careless enough
to put them on one of the lower shelves. Theoretically, Mom might
be really annoyed when she discovers this new activity.
Not that this ever happened to me, but in
this hypothetical case, could the bunny who'd woken up
out of sorts - let's call her "Lilith" - be blamed?
I say "no." Everybunny has a bad hare day
sometimes. Even I might misbehave under exceptional circumstances
like these - hypothetically.
