My Best Friend
Cornelius Robinson
My best friend's name is Wilbur. Just Wilbur, he does have a last name, I just don't want to mention it. When I first met Wilbur I was instantly convinced that he was insane, and so far, he has not proved me wrong. What other person would randomly show up one day, under your blanket at a science fair and start babbling about hats? I know of only one.
I guess it's not fair to say he's always crazy, I mean there was the time . . . Umm, there was . . . . no, no. Hmm, I guess it's harder to find a serious Wilbur moment then I thought. It's not like it's entirely his fault. His whole family is a little eccentric, and I like that about them. They're never afraid to be themselves, and to me that counts for a lot.
Wilbur has his own personality, and sometimes it scares me. It's not Wilbur himself, but I did get a little worried when he stuck a fruit hat on my head in his garage just so that no one would see my hair (but that's a different story for a very different time). I was also worried when he threw a meatball at his Uncle, blamed it on his Mom just so that his Mom wouldn't take off my baseball hat, which he put on me after saying he couldn't take me seriously in a fruit hat. Like he ever looks at anything seriously. Well, maybe the bowler hat thing, but even then, he was still carefree.
I think the reason Wilbur and I became so close is because he's the yang to my yin. Or the yin to my yang. Either way, we're almost polar opposites, but somehow we always end up understanding each other. He's adventurous, while I'd rather watch someone else have the adventure (most of the time). He acts without thinking, I'd rather analyze every step. Of course, being with Wilbur, sometimes the situation demands that I act without thinking, like with the twins Spike and Dimitri who hide in potted plants and demand you ring their doorbell whenever you go anywhere near the front door, but getting off track. Wilbur's always getting into trouble, being grounded, sneaking off and getting into more trouble. I wouldn't do anything like that, unless absolutely necacary. Wilbur's also sarcastic but he's very loyal to his family and friends.
I could go on and on forever about Wilbur, but all the words in the English language couldn't describe how much he means to me. He's like a brother, but we're connected closer than that.
I'm planning on adding another chapter when Wilbur has to write the same essay on Louis. I don't own Meet The Robinsons and thanks to iluvacting for betaing.
