Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy Needs a Nap.

~ John W. Howell

“Hey Twiggy. Are we playing with Be Mine today?”

“I don’t know. I thought it would be a good idea, but..”

“But what? You love Be Mine.”

“Yeah, I do, but usually we pay inside and there is something off about outside.”

“Okay, go inside, and I’ll bring Be Mine in.”

“Thanks, Dad. I’ll make the play-no-play decision when we get in there.”

“Well, there it is. You want me to toss it or something?”

“Thanks for bringing it in. I’m having a little crisis of toy play.”

“Crisis? How could you possibly have a crisis over toys?”

“Well, let me ask. Have you ever had some indecision over your writing?”

“Sure I have. Now that you mention it, some crisis, too.”

“So there you have it. Writing is important to you, and toys are important to me.”

“Never thought of it that way. So what are you doing about it.”

“I’m coming over to sit with you and take a few minutes to think.”

“What conclusion have you come to?”

“There is something about Be Mine. An aftertaste, maybe.”

“Do we need to replace Be Mine?”

“Hummm. That might be a little drastic.”

“So what do you think we should do?”

“Well, Be Mine is one of my favorites after all.”

“That’s true.”

“Do they make a bacon spray?”

  16. Whew, what a heavy conversation. If there is no such thing as bacon spray–there ought to be! Great idea, Twiggy.
    ps: Is Twiggy 4 going on 20? Smart little girl.

  19. Monk enjoys a bit of peanut butter in his Kong chews, but I don’t think Be Mine would welcome that (unless you plan on washing it every day!). Hope you had a nice break — it’s always nice when you return (though it takes some time to get all caught up!)

  28. Well, the realtors say the smell of baking cookies encourages sales, so they have sugar cookie candles. Maybe a bacon scented candle would be just the thing.

  30. Is there a writer’s equivalent to bacon spray. When ones manuscript leaves a nasty aftertaste. A gerundive spread? Verb mayo? Comma dressing?
