One of my go-to stories when I need a smile and a laugh, and I hope it works for you too!

I’m a big fan of unusual outsider POVs, and Arod’s here is one of the best I’ve read: his voice is spot-on delightful, and his observations -- correct or otherwise -- on the habits of two-legged creatures are often painfully hilarious (painful as in laughing yourself sore).

He may be a haughty know-it-all, but he also ships it so earnestly it's just plain adorable. Even when he totally Doesn’t Get It™, he’s only trying to help! (Spoiler: it all works out in the end. Mostly.)

Best enjoyed without any beverages, to avoid damage to the reading device.
