A classy reception staffed by a team of identically dressed servers.
Servers carrying trays of drinks and platters of food.
Servers wearing black plants, black ties, black vests - all maintaining an atmosphere of dignity and poise.
Amongst the wait staff stands a bearded man, wearing a suit and tie.
He holds a clipboard & a pen. He does this, while instructing the servers to pickup and drop off various things.
He tells them where to walk and where to stop.
He offers phrases like "Well done," "Faster please," and "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed"
He does all of this with an air of authority and confidence.
Servers, in turn, do what he says.
...the fools!
What foolish foolish fools they all are!
None of them know who this seemingly adult person truly is.
The suit, the beard, the clipboard, even the pen are all part of a clever ruse.
In all actuality, the grown adult telling them what to do is not an adult at all: he's a kid!
A snot nosed kid with with no business being anywhere near responsibility or classy receptions like this one!
A kid was overseeing this high class party of cheese sculptures and champagne flutes!
A kid was ordering around an army of serving staff, who had no business being ordered around by a kid!
Oh if they only knew; how shocked would they be?!
Though, they are not the first ones to be deceived - the charade had been playing out for some time.
For decades the kid, definitely not an adult, had been pulling off this ultimate prank on the whole world!
His plan was simple:
Step 1. Infiltrate the world of salad eating, job working, line waiting, tax filing, body aching adults.
Step 2. Wait.
Step 3. Reveal disguise!
Step 4. Buy a dragon (obviously).
Though his daring plan was full of genius and grit, it did have its pitfalls.
Since he was only pretending to be a responsible adult, the kid had to practice constant vigilance!
For if anyone ever suspected he was only a make believe grown up adult human capable of handling grown up human responsibilities: the prank would fall apart.
Then he would be the one laughed at and called a foolish foolish fool.
Fortunately, while pretending to be a University student: he had mastered the art of pretending to know what you're taking about.
So tonight would not be the night of his grand reveal.
... unless ... no.
Oh, no.
The time!
It was well past his bed time and sleepy time junction was drawing ever ... near ...
The kid playing an adult was in a real pickle of a jam if he couldn't find a way to keep the tucker train from taking him to dreamland!
This was a grownup party, so all the soda was diet!
he'd never get enough sugar to keep him up!
There was only one way, and the kid dreaded the thought of it.
The only way he'd be able to stay up past bedtime, would be to drink *shudder* coffee.
Coffee ... tastes ... gross!
Oh the pickle! Oh the jam!
Whatever will an adult, who's really a kid in disguise, do?!
