😉I think it's concern for our mental health.
I mean at least when I'm fixated upon the box with the moving pictures, there are at least the moving pictures and some sound involved. I must look like an idiot staring for hours at this thing in my lap with small black swiggly lines on it. I even carefully examine every single page, even though it's just more of those little black swiggly lines. I won't even mention that I sometime go back and re-examine certain pages, or randomly laugh out loud sometimes while I do this.
Even worse, I have many, many of these stupid little objects, all very similar in nature and size, and not only do I stare at them for hours at a time, I get very upset when a little furry certain someone (concerned for my very well-being of course) tries to get me to interact with the other members of my household instead.
Even worse would be when there are some pictures, after all, shouldn't I know by now that those things in the book aren't really real?
And I've been doing this for years, and not even the all-knowing-bird understands why, though she's long since given up any hope for my strange obsessive behavior.
I'm actually kind of worried that the dog and cat might try to stage some sort of intervention on my behalf.
