Sometimes I try to do stories with morals, sometimes I aim for funny, sometimes I just try for a good story.
Last night, I made their favorite stuffed animals (a hedgehog and a pelican) the main characters in a buddy story. The hardest part was coming up with a situation where a hedgehog and a pelican would cross paths: The hedgehog lived at the top of a hill near the beach and stumbled down it and into the ocean while foraging for food. The pelican rescued him, and that's how it all started.
I can't shut down the logic center of my brain even when making stuff up.
