Here you go, Merwandering. A peek into Aeliana's bizarre childhood.
I give you
Bubba the Rappin Worm
Here's the story. My friend's grandparents are from Germany. They were old and couldn't really live alone so they lived in her basement. But every time they visited Germany, they would smuggle her a case of Kinder eggs back (they're illegal in the US because they have small parts in them someone could ingest or choke on) they have these little eggs inside with a toy in them:
Well she used to open them at lunch and we were all in awe. One of the toys she got was this creepy little pink Cousin It looking finger puppet with like Tasmanian devil's mouth but no other facial features. It creeped her out so she gave it to someone else who wore it on her pinky and called it Pinky (because it was also pink). All the girls got obsessed with it because she would wear it all day and make jokes about it and I got jealous and was like "I can make something way better than that." So I made Bubba. Then everyone wanted one and a rap to go with it! (Bubba was from Japan, his girlfriend LuLu from Hawaii, Ikey from France, Tallulah from Canada, etc.) every time my friend ate a kinder egg she would give the plastic part of the egg to someone with a Worm so they had a handy carrying case. We would make shoebox houses for them with Popsicle stick furniture and sew clothes out of fabric scraps (next time I go to my parents' I'll see if I can find his house). I made him into a jalapeņo pepper for Halloween. He had funky shag carpet and a "lava lamp" I made with hot glue and puffy paint that my idiot cat eventually ate. And that's the story of how I invented a weird finger puppet craze in the sixth grade.
