“Do you see you are pulling the covers off the couch?”
“Yeah. It is so much fun, too.”
“I wish I could tell you the consequences, but you’ll find out yourself.”
“Oh, please? What harm does burrowing under the couch covers do?”
“Well, if you have dirty paws, it gets on the couch and not the cover.”
“I never have dirty paws. Besides, I hear all this stuff is like iron.”
“What’s like iron?”
“Oh, Hi, dad. We were just talking about how durable the couch is.”
“You are going to get a taste of durable on your butt if you don’t stop messing with these covers.”
“I tried to tell her, Dad.”
“Not sure I can get this stuff back the way it was, but I’ll try.”
“Dad. Give us a minute, and we’ll figure this out.”
“Twiggy, I can’t get this cover to co-operate.”
“This mess is the moral equivalent of the Titanic. I need to move.”
“Don’t leave me. I think I almost have it.”
“I see they are loading the last lifeboat. Bon Voyage, Tempeste.”
“What’s going to happen?”
“I think I hear Mom coming, so you may have to explain to her on your own.”
“Do you think she’ll be mad?”
“No more so than the captain of the Titanic.”
“Oh, that’s good.”
“Yeah. See ya.”

T stands for – Tempeste, trouble, Titanic, tumult, and “T” rhymes with “B” which stands for Bad Dog.
