Benjamin in Wonderland?
I must confess that I needed a little bit of outside help when compiling this post. On April 14th, I posted a blog called Pug Sized. Well, in this post, I feel like either "Honey I Blew Up the Benny!" or "Honey, I Shrunk the Fire Hydrant!" Then I was thinking of that song "Go Ask Alice" and knew something along the lines that there was a link to Alice in Wonderland. Alice apparently eats a bite of chocolate and either grows or shrinks depending on which piece she eats.
So, here we have Benjamin in Wonderland. It seems that Benny ate the special chocolate to make him be bigger than the fire hydrant when before he was about the same size. Now he towers over the hydrant. Whoa! (The obvious reality is that we actually 2 turquoise colored fire hydrants. One is quite small and the other is Benjamin sized.)
In an honorable spoof of the lyrics to Jefferson Airplane's 'Go Ask Alice'....one hydrant made Benny larger and one hydrant made him small and the one that he gets to pee on doesn't do anything at all. That is about where the comparison ends, of course. There are no Mad Hatters, Caterpillars, disappearing cats or white rabbits. Its just Benny and the big and small hydrants.

This sounds like a post I would make, since I am totally in love with all things Alice in Wonderland; I got ya right away Corrine. Abby’s kitty sister that lives at grandma’s house is even named Dinah, after the cat that Alice plays with on her lap right before she falls down the rabbit hole.
But, dang, that is one giant Benny. All the more to love, I say <3
