Let’s set the scene: it’s sometime around 2010, give or take. Catholic elementary school, computer class. The teacher has various office humor-style decorations scattered about. Ya know, like the red Staples “that was easy” button, ironic bobble-heads, you get it. In the mix of “working hard or hardly working” decor, there are figures of a little pink cat and green rabbit with huge, cartoonish eyes. When pressed, these creatures, named Hoops and Yoyo, would scream in high voices and crack ridiculous jokes. But it wasn’t the first time seeing them– I actually knew them from the eCards my dad would send (back when that was a thing people did regularly). And for some unknown reason, I was absolutely obsessed with them.
