“Hey, Twiggy.”
“Hi, Dad, what’s up?”
“I see you are playing with your honey and bees.”
“I really like this toy. You have to pull the bees out of the hive.”
“Looks like fun. Did you enjoy Aunt Beth’s visit?”
“I sure did. We had a lot of fun together. We bonded again.”
“What was the best part?”
“I think the best was when she stroked my ears and played with my fur. The snuggles were good too.”
“Do you miss her?”
“Well, of course, I do, but the nice part is knowing she will be back.”
“That is so true. Visits are great knowing you’ll see the person again.”
“I think that’s what I said. Um, excuse me, but I have to get this bee out of the hive.”
“Looks like it is getting away from you.”
“Yeah, this floor does make it difficult.”
“Looks like you are back in control.”
“Yup, got that one, and there is one more.”
“Looks like a lot of work.”
“Yeah, but someone has to do it.”
“I think you are the best person for the job.”
“I suppose I’m the only person for the job. Not too many stuffed bee pullers around.”
“How right you are.”
