We here at Squeaker central hope everyone is having a good Easter. We have had a busy week.
Squeaker has been having lots of fun "reading", which we realize isn't news, but books have succeeded in getting her in trouble. This is a long family tradition, leading back at least to the days when the Granddaddy took all afternoon to burn the old news papers. They of course needed to be read first, and yes, this was long before global warming.
The books in question are part of the AlphaPets series. We don't actually have all of them and Brite and the Daddy person think we understand why....
Squeaker really likes the books because each of them features four or five of the twenty-six characters, making each one more to her than the sum of its parts. This week Brite had to put away "Delia the Demanding Duck" and "Sylvester the Stubborn Squirrel". Despite the fact that these animals repent by the end of their books, Squeaker was having far too much fun imitating the wrong behaviors. We are pretty sure this is why "Monty the Mimicking Mouse" and the others never made it to the used bookstore. Please do not try and find him for us. We don't want to meet him.
Tuesday night we were having Pooh pancakes for dinner (a little bit of honey makes all the difference). As dinner was winding to a close Aunt Brite and the Daddy person were discussing things and spelling words here and there so Squeaker wouldn't understand. It seems like as long as we don't spell too much, she doesn't get mad.
At least that was how we understood the game.
As Brite was cleaning up Squeaker’s plate, she pointed out the Daddy person that it was a “B-A-T-H” night.
Squeaker looked at her and asked “Will I have a bath tonight?”
A moment passes while Brite and the Daddy person digested what has just happened. Brite then tested the obvious hypothesis, “Why do you say that Squeaker?”
“Because you said it is B-A-T-H night.”
That's all the news that's fit to print. Enjoy the week. Incidentally, if the formatting on the blog is off for you, try loading it in a browser other than Firefox. For some reason it doesn't seem to like the snow video.
