Kiplan Has a Bad Day

Kiplan awoke the next morning feeling good about life. He went to the kitchen and ate ice cream for breakfast and then began to lounge in his underwear, reading a book, when he heard a knock at the door.

It was Susan Wainwright.

Kiplan has not met Susan previous to her knocking on the door, but moments before, Susan had been greeted by Jeremy outside the house before he went to work. And it was at that precise moment when Kiplan took an empty ice cream carton to the garbage (in his tighty whities! Gah!) and Susan must have spotted him.

Kiplan invited her in with no delay and began talking and doling out all his charms, but unlike Agnes, Susan did not appreciate his attempts.


Kiplan realized that Susan has the snob trait.


Kiplan felt hurt. He has the over-emotional trait which sometimes, as we will soon find out, is not a good combo with the evil trait.

He protected his own feelings by mocking her snobbery.

Then he began to mock her scientific pretention, her pristine lab coat, and boiling beakers.

After the mocking was some shouting. After the shouting was some back-handed slapping.

And before he could control himself, not that he ever really does, he declared Susan his arch-nemesis.

That's when they broke out in a full on fist-throwing tumble right in the middle of the living room floor. And Susan kicked his trash.

Kiplan was shocked. Here this snobby woman was, with her stupid blue socks in high heels, and her dumb lab coat, who had knocked on HIS door, and for WHAT?! He would rather he just stayed in his briefs, comfortable in his bed, and read his book.

Kiplan told Susan to leave.

So she did. And on her way out, she smiled. Or was that a smirk? Perhaps she just felt like beating someone up, and when she saw scrawny little Kiplan in his underwear by the garbage that morning she knew that today was the day.
