On a speck on a flower on the Mt Nool,
There is life, and no ! I am not a fool !
"But we know Whoville", you'd tell me.
But this is not the same story...
You know
How the Grinch stole Christmas, dontcha ?
Well, here is the story of this poor, grinchy fella.

All the story began in a town called Grinchville.
A beautiful town, but not as much as Whoville.
Here live the Grinches. They are taller, and live longer, than the Whos.
Also, all the genders don't need go wear clothes or shoes.
Grinches are only green, grey or blue,
And they like parties and joy, like Whos, too !

But Herbert Grinch was an evil one.
For him, bad, mean things were fun.

At the Grinch Maternity Hospital...

A nurse : Mr Grinch ? Congratulations. You are the proud father of a beautiful little boy !

Herbert : A BOY ! (A boy ! A heir ! Perfeeeect ! If it were a girl, I'd have run away...)

Herbert, who was sitten next to 2 stressed daddies-to-be, put out the cigarette in an ashtray and got up from his chair, with a satisfied smile, as he went calmly to the room. He looked inside, and in a birthing bed was his wife, Clarnella Grinch. She looked tired, panting, with her hair and fur in a real mess, but she was very happy and peaceful ; in her harms she was holding a purple towel where was peacefully sleeping a tiny little fella... The new mom immediatly loved him ; she tenderly smiled at the baby ; then she turned, merry, to her husband.

Clarnella : Oh, hello, Herbert !... Come in, come in ! Say hello to your son !...

Herbert glanced at the tiny green furball with a DGAF look on his face.

Clarnella : Would you like to hold him ?

The new dad looked up and down his spouse and looked at his long, thin claws-fingers.

Herbert : Pah ! No way ! Hugs are for girls ! I have my pride.

Clarnella lost her smile and and stared, offended and bored by his attitude since some months, her spouse.

Clarnella : Hum. And... Do you have a suggestion for his name ?

Herbert : Yes, Clarnella. I've already sent it to the Grinch Town council.

Clarnella : What ?!

Hebert : He has none. He only has his surname. His name is "Grinch".

Clarnella : WHAT !?

Clarnella was really annoyed and angry at her husband's attitude. Why ? Why was he a gentleman before the wedding and suddently became a jerk when she told him she was pregnant ? She started, since some months, to lose her love for him.

Clarnella : Are you nuts ?! How could you do that to him ?! And you told me nothing ! And you told the Grinch Town council even before his birth ! When I was in labor !

Herbert : Clarnella, names are not important. We only need them to be different. And I think our baby will be unique in the world. So he doesn't need one. (The truth is I totally don't care. He's just my tool-to-be.)

It was too much for Clarnella. Now, because of this, she did lose her love for him and exploded in anger. She pointed the door.

Clarnella : All I know is that all the others kids will think he is different ! BUZZ OFF !

Herbert got annoyed by this woman. After a silent moment, her turned away and walked to the door.

Herbert : ... Very well. But Grinch is mine too.

2 days later, they divorced.
Clarnella got her maiden name back, Rose Grinch instead of Grinch, simply.
She felt Herbert did not like the baby.
And it was the feeling she hated the most !

Grinch lived with his mother and sometimes with his father,
But Herbert did not like his son... He was still looking after
Him, to be away from his mama,
Because he needed him for his wonderful, awful idea...


I swear, there's no "swag" in the title.

One day, true Seuss fans. One day, there won't be any The Lorax movie fandom here ; it will have its own movie section, and it'll let us be. Let's pray.
