Okay, I admit it: I can be a pretty picky pookie, and a pretty picky mumu too. I know it sounds stupid, but for me, the best mumus have sunglasses, and the best pookies have tiaras.

I know I sound like a jerk when I say that. But ever since I became a member, that was my mindset. I am a spoiled brat.

I decided I was going to have to make a change in my Club Penguin life, so I set a goal - for the entire month of August, I am only going to pick nonmember/newbie pookies and I am going to say yes to every nonmember/newbie mumu that picks me.

Today was my first day. It was hard at the beginning. Lots of rare mumus tried to pick me, and one of them even had a beta hat. But I said no.

And then, just a few hours ago, I was picked by a mumu that obviously hadn't been pookie-ing very long. All her clothing was from the current months catalog, and she was wearing EYELASHES, which I really think are ugly, sorry eyelash lovers. Her membership was only for one month, and instead of doing the whole "spots perfect pookie, walks over, whispers in ear" deal, she just said "I wanna be your mumu."

And I said yes.

And I went to her iggy.

It was the saddest looking igloo I've ever seen. She clearly didn't have any idea how to make a house. All of her items were scattered all over the place, there weren't really any walls anywhere, there was a random pool in the middle of it all. I guess she realized how bad it was, because she started redecorating. She was probably making a huge effort to make her iggy look good, because it took her about fifteen minutes to change it. I was tempted to leave, but I didn't. Finally she came back, and the igloo wasn't much better. She gave me a tour, which consisted of my room, the kitchen, the backyard, and the pool. There was no living room, no dining area, no biggy room, no room for her. It was sad. But I still said "Wowie mumu!" and she smiled.

Then she said one thing that I will never forget.

She said "No one usually stays this long."

And that was when my heart broke. It was then that I realized that I was doing the right thing.

So now I challenge YOU to do the same thing. Say yes to all the nonmember/newbie mumus and pookies you find. We were all a nonmember at some point. We all know what it was like being told "no" "no" "no" over and over again by rare, member pookies and mumus.

So just say yes. Chances are, the nonmember/newbie will be so excited someone actually said yes, they will treat you with so much more love than your rich diva mom.



I will be posting updates regularly on how my month is going :)
