Episode 26: Children R the future!
Pinterest approaches Firefox's desk.
Pinterest: Hey Firefox, could I have the day off tomorrow? Rebecca's daycare needs helpers.
Firefox: Who's Rebecca?
Pinterest: My niece. Remember, she was at Facebook's party a few months ago? I think she kicked you with her soccer cleats.
Firefox: Ah yes, the gremlin. I guess you can have the day off, just make sure to catch up on all the work you missed.
Pinterest: Thanks, and by the way Tumblr, Instagram, Quotev, Wattpad, Fanfic, and DevA will be taking the day off too.
Firefox: I never said-
Pinterest: *runs off* No backsies!
Pinterest is back at the area where Tumblr, Fanfic, DevA, and Wattpad sit.
Pinterest: Do you guys want to help me with Rebecca's daycare tomorrow?
Tumblr, DevA, Fanfic, and Wattpad: No.
Pinterest: Come on! It's a birthday party!
Tumblr: Will there be cake?
Pinterest: I think so.
DevA: What type?
Pinterest: I'll probably make Cookie Monster cupcakes.
Fanfic: Make a rainbow layer cake or else we aren't coming.
Pinterest: Deal! It's so fun baking things! Why would anyone do anything that isn't DIY?
Tumblr: Common sense.
Pinterest: Common sense is for boring people.
*the next day*
Tumblr wakes up, opening her eyes and blinking them slowly. The blurry outline of Pinterest comes into focus. Tumblr jumps.
Pinterest: Don't looks so afraid! I've been to your house thousands of times.
Tumblr: Three times.
Pinterest: Whatever! We're leaving in fifteen minutes.
Tumblr: For what?
Pinterest: Remember? You agreed to volunteer at Rebecca's daycare!
Tumblr: *face palm* UGH! Why?!
Pinterest: Come on! It'll be fun! Don't teach the kids any swears!
Tumblr: But they need an education!
*later*
Disney.com: Hello! Thanks again, Pinterest, for volunteering. And you brought your friends!
Tumblr: Wait, you're Disney?
Disney.com: Yes?
Tumblr: *grabs Disney by shoulders and shakes her* MAKE JELSA CANON! MAKE JELSA CANON RIGHT NOW! AAAH!
Pinterest: Tumblr, there's children watching.
Tumblr: Oh. Hey kids, do you know what an OTP is?
Pinterest: *face palm* I'll set up the cake.
Webkinz skips up to Tumblr.
Webkinz: Hi!
Tumblr: Um... Hi?
Webkinz: Do you like dogs?
Tumblr: Yeah?
Webkinz: Do you like cats?
Tumblr: Yep?
Webkinz: Do you like birds?
Tumblr: I guess?
Webkinz: Do you like-
Tumblr: Who even are you?!
*awkward silence*
Coolmath: Uh oh!
Poptropica: You shouldn't'a done that!
Webkinz: It's okay guys, it's just... *fake crying* THIS LADY IS BEING MEAN TO ME ON MY BIRTHDAY! MRS. DISNEY!
Disney: Be nice to the children! Especially Webkinz, because it is her birthday.
Webkinz: I'm turning eleven!
Tumblr: Isn't eleven a little old to be playing with stuffed animals?
DevA: *drawing Webkinz as a dog* Don't listen to her. She's just jealous that her parents sold all her toys to Amazon when she got the job.
Tumblr: It wasn't Amazon, it was Ebay!
Webkinz: That's sad. You can have Mr. Poodle if you want, I'm probably going to get another just like him today. *hands Tumblr a pink poodle*
Tumblr: *holds stuffed dog* That's it, Mr. Poodle. Fight the gender stereotypes!
Webkinz: What?
Pinterest: Tumblr's just being self aware.
Tumblr: SOCIETY IS TEACHING US WHAT TO THINK, NOT HOW TO THINK!
Coolmath: Would some thinking games calm you down?
Tumblr: Idk.
Coolmath: Here you go. This is a game where you have to train ducks to run in races using logic.
Tumblr: Like Pokémon?
Fanfic: NOT like Pokémon.
Poptropica: Why would you play Pokémon? You're a grown up!
Fanfic: I like to think of myself as more of a 28-year-old child.
Poptropica: You're weird.
Fanfic: Thank you.
Poptropica: It wasn'ta compliment.
Fanfic: YES IT WAS!
Pinterest: The cake's ready! Everyone should gather around outside now so we can sing to Webkinz and all that stuff.
Webkinz: Yay! Make way for your queen! *leaves with everyone else*
Pinterest: Tumblr? Aren't you coming?
Tumblr: *hisses* The Outdoorsss...
Pinterest: *rolls eyes and drags Tumblr outside*
*outside*
Children sing "Happy Birthday" to Webkinz.
Webkinz: Thank you, thank you. Truly splendid. Club Penguin, you were a little flat.
Club Penguin: Just because I'm older than everyone!
Webkinz: WORK ON IT!
Wattpad: *talking to Instagram* That was kind of harsh.
Instagram: She has sass. I like her.
Wattpad: How does Pinterest's niece even put up with these kids?
Instagram: Which one's Pinterest's niece?
Wattpad: Rebecca.
Instagram: Which one's Rebecca?
Wattpad: The one with... *looks for Rebecca* Uh oh.
Instagram: What?
Wattpad: I think Rebecca's missing.
Instagram: WHAT?
Wattpad: KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN! We don't want Pinterest to know!
Instagram: Why?
Wattpad: I was put in charge of watching Rebecca! I was the only one who promised not to turn everything she said into a meme.
Instagram: Children are so meme-able.
Wattpad: They really are. But that's beside the point! We need to find Rebecca, wherever she is, and look like the responsible ones!
Instagram: But we're not the responsible ones.
Wattpad: We can look like it!
Instagram: #aesthetic?
Wattpad: (nobly) #aesthetic.
Wattpad and Instagram sneak out while Webkinz opens her gifts.
Webkinz: OMG THIS IS MY 1000th STUFFED PIG!
Tumblr: Name it waddles, or else!
Wattpad and Instagram are back inside the daycare center, looking for Rebecca.
Instagram: *yelling* Here, Rebecca! Come here!
Wattpad: You're calling her like she's a dog!
Instagram: Whatever! She can't have gone far, how old did Pinterest say she was again?
Wattpad: Eight and a half.
Instagram: Good, she can't drive yet.
Wattpad: If she could drive, why would she need to be at daycare!
Instagram: I was just checking!
Wattpad: *yelling* Is Rebecca Sharp here?
Rebecca: *hiding in blanket fort* No.
Instagram: I guess we'd better look outside some more...
Rebecca: *still in blanket fort* You're seriously giving up that easily? I'm right here.
Wattpad: *going into the blanket fort* For the record, I was about to point out how ignorant that comment was.
Rebecca: Sure you were.
Instagram: Do they teach sass as a core subject here or something? I wish my parents had sent me to daycare. *looks around* This fort is nice. A little small, but nice.
Rebecca: Thank you. I designed it myself.
Instagram: Cool.
Wattpad: Rebecca, why aren't you at the party? There's cake and ice cream and a pinata and-
Instagram: -And a bounce castle! Who doesn't love a bounce castle?
Rebecca: Me.
Instagram: *gasp* How can you say that? Are you basic?
Rebecca: I just don't really like hanging out with the other kids here.
Wattpad: Why? I mean, I know they're all very annoying, but why?
Rebecca: They all want to be gaming websites and work at Computer corp. when they're older, but I don't! It's all they ever talk about! Some of them, like Poptropica, Webkinz, and Coolmath, even have their own games created!
Wattpad: Well, you don't have to be a website.
Rebecca: Yes I do. It's all Pinterest ever talks about, and my mom said that I need to follow in my Aunt's footsteps, whatever that means.
Instagram: Don't let anyone tell you what your future has to be! Your parents may think they know what's best for you, but follow your heart! Don't stop believing! Inspirational quotes!
Wattpad: What my friend is trying to say is that your future is up to you. If you don't want to be a website, be something else! And if you do want to be a website, nobody will make fun of you for changing your mind, because that's what humans do.
Instagram: Also, I'm pretty sure by the time you're old enough to be a website, all the annoying people will have left. So keep that in mind.
Rebecca: Thanks. You guys can go back out. Just tell Pinterest I'm in the bathroom or something.
Instagram: Okay! See you later!
Back outside, all the children are gone except Rebecca (still inside). Tumblr, DevA, Pinterest, Instagram, Fanfic, and Wattpad are all in the bounce house.
Pinterest: Oh, btw Wattpad, where's Rebecca?
Wattpad: She's in the bathroom.
Instagram: OR SOMETHING!
Wattpad: *face palm*
Pinterest: Okay. Just tell her she still has a goodie bag out here.
DevA: Are you sure this bounce castle was made to hold six adults?
Disney: (outside bounce house) No, but I'm sure it's fine. Craig said-
*bounce house pops loudly*
Instagram: I COULD HAVE DIED! AAAAAHHHH!
Tumblr: That was awesome. Somebody make a GIF of that!
Disney: I think it's time for you guys to go.
A/N Idk if I've already mentioned this, but FandomsAmazing and I started a Tumblr blog together to promote my book (the one you're reading right now) and her book, "Presenting, the Fandoms". PtF is like the child of Antisocial Media, because I inspired her to write it by writing this, and it's about Fandoms as humans. I won't go into too much detail in case I've already mentioned it, but if you're bored in between updates, you should check out her book and our tumblr, which is ptf-and-asm (I'll post it as an external link).
Stay golden, followers!
P.S. Thank you for getting this to #259 in humor today! XOXO
