A story by the Zweeble

seldneiZ. likes stories, and occasionally when we're in the car he'll say, "Mom, you have to tell me a story about a little [animal/vehicle/person] walkin'." (Let me tell you, my powers of improvisation have been growing, though I am not an endless font of stories about little things that walk.)
Today, Scott got the following:
"Dad, you have to tell me a story about a little fox walkin', and he runs into a giant bumblebee."
"Well, it sounds like you already know the whole story, there, Z."
Pause. Then, "Once upon a time, there was a little fox walkin', and he runs into a giant bumblebee. And the bumblebee tries to sting him, and the fox runs away. But he's a superhero fox, and he squirts bananas at the giant bumblebee, and the bee flies away."
It's the surrealist element of the banana that I really like, there.
