An Internet Friend, after reading the entry "
Can I Please Sleep On The Sofa, Instead Of In The Car?," said her mother asked what happened to "poor, weak-minded Bruce?" I told her that Bruce was clearly so upset at annoying me that I let him stay inside. But when I recounted this story to another Internet Friend (Internet Friends are the
best!) I realized my error.

After all, Peanut is the Master Of The Universe.
If Bruce were all the way out in the car, he might have been out of range for Mind Control. And then where would Peanut have been when he wanted a late night snack of half a dozen sunflower seeds?
So clearly, Peanut Mind Controlled me into allowing Bruce to stay within range of his Awesome Powers Of Snack Acquisition.
Lucky Bruce!
