Tiny Feedings

Like any busy, all-powerful ruler, Tiny Overlord relies on servants to deliver sustenance while he weighs the critical issues of the day. Freed from the dual burdens of foraging and preparing his own food, Tiny Overlord has delivered numerous landmark decisions while feeding. The most recent of these is Load v. Pants (2009), on the minimum acceptable interval between soilings.

In order to reduce uncertainty and inconsistency regarding the feeding process, Tiny Overlord issues the following:

Standards Bulletin 3DG-2809: Feedings
Upon activation of the Tiny Overlord stomach quantity alarm (screaming accompanied by lip-smacking and possible eating-of-hand -- Figure 1), the nearest subject shall promptly execute the official Feeding Procedure. Tiny Overlord will signal completion of the procedure by issuing a new communication, an expulsion of waste material (Figure 2), or in rare cases, a facial expression designed for positive reinforcement. Excessive delay or use of an unapproved procedure is strictly prohibited and may result in banishment.

  3. Failure to burp, failure to change a soiled diaper, etc. All of these would constitute a breach of policy.
