Sadie is the most cowardly lion of them all.
Once upon a time there was a muppet (dog) named Sadie. She was a very emotionally fragile Goldendoodle from Georgia. Sadie’s mom dressed her up as a lion for halloween. From that day on, Sadie was forevermore known by her street name: Sadie the Cowardly Lion.
Don’t believe me? See for yourself:
Sadie’s not-so-lion-like cowardice
So how is Sadie cowardly? Here are some things she is afraid of:
- Hats
- Backpacks
- Shoes that jingle
- Voluminous hair
- Large jackets
- Some purses
- Watering cans
- Strangers
- Her dinner (sometimes)
- Bones that taste especially delicious
- Bacon
- Various fruits and vegetables
This is not an exhaustive list of all the things Sadie is afraid of, and it’s constantly growing as she explores more of the world. The list of things she ISN’T afraid of is also constantly changing, too. For instance, she used to be afraid of carrots and apples. Now, she’s only afraid of apples. Sadie is afraid of people who ring the doorbell but not of people who come in her house. This is especially not useful when thinking about whether her lion-like skills would actually be useful for defending against robbers and thieves .
Measuring Sadie’s cowardice
Looking for a way to assess Sadie’s relative cowardice to actual lions and other cowardly creatures? Here’s a fun equation to help:
Number of lions in the world – Number of Sadies x the speed of light / grapefruit (chocolate chip muffins) (the square footage of Africa) = Sadie’s cowardice.
