Chapter 4: Harry and Spongebob

Harry awoke Saturday morning around 9:25 am and pattered to the kitchen for some breakfast. When he came down the stairs, he saw all the Jones family members in their pajamas with bowls of various cereals in their hands. And playing on their TV was a yellow sponge with a pink starfish.

"Harry! Go get some cereal and watch Spongebob with us!" Scout called happily while Addie cracked up something the sponge said.

Harry surveyed the scene. He raised an eyebrow beofre answering.

"Okay?" Harry went to the kitchen and poured himself a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. He joined the family as a new episode began playing. A little green plankton was on screen with the sponge, shouting about something.

"What is this?" Harry asked.

"Spongebob Square Pants." The family said together.

"Oh, this is the FUN episode." Blair smiled at her family. And soon, the sponge began singing, as did the Jones'.

"F is for friends who do stuff together, U is for u and me! N is for anywhere and anytime at all down here in the deep blue sea!"

Harry was creeped out at Addie and Dean took the lead in the next verse.

"F is for fire that rains from the sky, U is for uranium...BOMBS! N is for no survivoooorrrrsss!"

The family laughed as Spongebob scolded Plankton. "See Harry, it's hilarious!"

"It's a talking sponge...it's not really that hilarious." Harry said finishing his cereal.

"Blasphemy! I'm getting him lyrics to the campfire song and we are all going to sing it, right here, right now." Addie jumped up and went to the family computer. Dean grabbed the remote and went to the Netflix home screen. He flipped through the Sponge Bob episodes until he came to the campfire one. Addie ran over with the printed lyrics.

They watched the episode, laughing at Squidward's anger and depression. Then, the infamous song began.

"Let's gather round the campire, and sing our campfire song. Our C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G song. If you don't think we can sing it faster, than you're wrong. But it will help if you just sing along!"

"Bum, Bum, Bum!" Sam, Chris, Dean, and Mr. Jones said.

"Our C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G song! Our C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G song! If you don't think we can sing it faster than you're wrong. But it will help if you just sing along!"

"Bum, Bum, Bum!"

And the song continued to go faster and faster, and Harry had to admit, it was pretty darn funny. Addie's face was red and Scout and Blair were sputtering incoherent words, sometimes missing letters in campfire.

All day the family watched the yellow, iconic sponge, laughing at the simple stupidity that it was. It was a carefree, pajama day. They ordered pizza and hung out all day. When it came close to 8 pm, movie night was starting. Popcorn, candy, sodas, blankets, and pillows found their way to the living room and Sam popped in a Disney movie. Which Disney movie?

Finding Nemo. Harry laughed at Dory's whale speak (And Addie's imitation) and couldn't help falling asleep downstairs with the other kids, with Shark Bait oh haha repaeating in their heads. It was a sponge filled day with fish at the end, who had some serious mental problems. Harry couldn't have asked for a weirder, happier day.

*I don't own Sponge Bob, Fidning Nemo, or Cinnamon toast Crunch.
