Spartan Becca: Apparently I'm a Bee

Monday, February 23, 2009

We got into a discussion of Patroni at the dinner table. And my beloved friends named me "bee." Thank you, guys.

Charlie said...: Please enlighten me. Don't know what "Patroni" is. (The plural of "Patronus"?) Your friends think your patronus is a bee? Why would they think that and why does it bother you? Hmm.; February 24, 2009 at 10:51 AM
Becca Farnum said...: Yes, Patroni is plural of Patronus. Apparently I'm busy as a bee and my friends think it's my essence. I disagree. The biggest problem I have, actually, is that, just because one's essence is a bee, this would not necessarily make one's Patronus a bee. Harry, for example, is not in any way a Stag. Nor is Severus a doe. At least Bailey is with me.; February 24, 2009 at 11:20 AM
Charlie said...: Ah. You are not as busy as a bee, because busy bees do what others tell them to, and you most certainly don't.
And I concur with your analysis of patroni not being connected with your essence.
In fact, using the Severus model, I would think your patronus would be a wolverine. Or a water strider. (Or a derrick, if patroni are allowed to be inanimate objects.); February 24, 2009 at 1:27 PM
Becca Farnum said...: Oh, good grief. You're ridiculous.; February 24, 2009 at 3:29 PM
