Theodore located the full gallon of milk in the fridge and heaved it out with some difficulty. His chipmunk arms were never really made for heavy lifting and it was tough for him to reach the container with his slightly bigger paunch pressing into the other items on the lower shelves. Once he finally had the thing, he unscrewed the cap, placed his mouth to the opening and turned the container straight upside down, using his hands to balance it and keep milk from spilling all over the floor (though a little did anyway).
His little throat gulped and gulped and gulped as the crisp liquid was dragged down by gravity. It was so refreshing to wash down all of those delicious cookies with some nice cold milk that Theodore knew he wouldn't be satisfied until he emptied the container. And empty it he did.
For a brief moment, a look of perfect contentment washed over Theodore's face as the milk settled in his stomach. Then, Theodore felt an ache that immediately informed him he had made a big mistake.
Theodore looked down toward the floor to find that the tummy he typically saw in the way of his feet now totally obscured his vision. A bloated belly full of cookies and milk hung heavily off of his frame, and he doubled over as a pulsing pain shot through his abdomen.
"Agh!" Theodore groaned, holding his stomach. "Well, I guess that WAS a lot to eat in one sitting. Even for me."
Theodore slowly and painfully waddled over to the couch to try and relax while waiting for his stomach to settle. With some effort, he managed to get up onto the cushions and lay his head back on the armrest. He rubbed his gut softly, trying to ease his protesting tummy and he found his eyelids growing heavy as he did so.
A yawn escaped his lips as the ache began to decrease and his drowsiness began to increase. Too quickly for him to realize it, he had fallen fast asleep.
