“My, don’t you look nice in your new coats.”
“We are unsure of these, but thanks for the treats.”
“Tempeste, you will never get that off that way.”
“How do you get them off?”
You find a nice chair and rub it off.”
“On Mom’s new chairs. Are you nuts?”
They have covers, so no one will be the wiser.”
“I don’t know. Sounds very risky to me.”
“Give it a try. Works wonders.”
“Okay, one rub.”
“Hey. What’s the deal?”
“This coat didn’t even budge. You lied to me.”
“No, I didn’t. It worked in the past. These new ones seem pretty stubborn.”
“You can say that again.”
“That step-over roll hold was pretty impressive.”
“You want to see it again?”
“Ha ha ha. I have to say you are getting good.”
“Don’t forget I have a good teacher.”
“I guess we are not going out.”
“How about a game of tag, then. I’ll be it.”
“Give me a head start.”
