Beastlies

Pinder the Beastlie was our last candidate to interview for the position of snack time helper. He informed us that he’d already “helped snack time” by breaking into the cupboard and eating all of today’s snack. It seems that the Beastlies aren’t quite ready for this much responsibility.

Rigald is so sweet and innocent that it’s hard to say no to him… Even though he didn’t seem to understand what was going on when we tried to interview him for the snack helper job. Every time we mentioned what his duties would be, he just exclaimed “TREAT?!” in a hopeful voice. We eventually gave him a treat and sent him on his way.

As we search for a a qualified snack time helper, we find Molly is a strong candidate. Under “Special Skills,” she listed “Maybe not eating all the treats sometimes?”

Stu believes he’s the best candidate for the role of snack time helper because he’s good at yelling. We told him that we don’t think yelling is necessary to the process of handing out snacks to the other Beastlies. He responded that we “must be doing it wrong, then.”

We found Allister to be a remarkably organized candidate in our search for a snack time helper. He even came to the interview prepared with a list of references (One was himself, the other was me).

Bamber really, really wants to be our new snack time helper. We’re not sure he’s a good candidate, though… He began to cry when we gently rejected his bribe of half a chocolate chip.

We’re not sure Rogi is a good fit for the position of snack time helper. When we interviewed her, we explained that she would partly in charge of distributing treats to the other Beastlies… She started gazing into the middle distance with an odd intensity and murmuring “the power…. the power!..”

Probably a bad sign.

When it was his turn to interview for the position of snack time helper, Brett actually brought a little resume with him. Even though it was “written” in marmelade on a packet of artificial sweetener, it’s still pretty impressive.

When Wardle interviewed for the position of snack time helper, he insisted that he was the ideal Beastlie for the job. He claims to be “the best at treats,” whatever that means.

When we started interviewing candidates for the position of “snack time helper,” Spencer applied immediately. When we began to explain what his duties would entail— namely, helping distribute treats— he began to panic. Eventually he squealed that it was “too much pressure” and ran off.
