I thought I'd just throw this out there for the readers to decide. Now, I know that I bitch and moan about The Human taking me on her ghost hunting trips and dragging me around to spooky places and using me as ghost bait, or as she likes to call a "target object," but I was rather offended this last weekend.
The Human went with her hoity toity team, POE, to some haunted locations. Admittedly, the last time I stayed at that haunted B&B, a little girl spoke to The Human and I during the night and I was not at all comfortable with that. I'm used to voices being thrown, but this wasn't thrown from a human!
Still, The Human decided this time to take a Barbie doll. A Barbie doll! I know what she was thinking, that a Barbie doll might appeal to the little girl who spoke the last time we were there. It seemed like there was room enough for me in the bag.
The team members are apparently quite reliable and she didn't feel the need to bring a protector. That 6'3" team member probably dogged her all night, keeping her safe. Not that I care what happens to The Human, mind you, but if she becomes injured it would inconvenience me. I like the abandoned dolls she's collected over the years at abandoned sites and we're a family now. Should someone come in and take apart her estate, it would be off to the antique shop again for me.
It's not like I care if she's happy or scared, getting into trouble or not. She doesn't know how many times I talked to the spirits in the room to leave her alone. She's not aware of what a protective I have been. In fact, come to think of it, she wouldn't be much of an investigator without my skills to keep her out of her usual antics and side paths that lead to danger.
Well, this guard doll is quite done with his job. Apparently, a cheaply foreign-made Barbie doll can do the job. I'm not hurt. I'm not displaced. I'm quite content. In fact, next time, she can take the Ken doll, so there!
