“What are these, Twiggy?”
“They look like giant macaroons to me.”
“There is no squeaker.”
“Not every toy has a squeaker, Tempeste.”
“Yeah, but then what’s the incentive to tear it apart?”
“That’s just it. You are not supposed to tear it apart.”
“Does yours have a squeaker?”
“I haven’t played with it long enough to know.”
“I’ll check it out.”
“Sure, and then get it all wet with your drool.”
“What’s wrong with my drool?”
“You gotta be kidding me.”
Alright then, I’ll just play with mine. What are you doing up there?”
“I just asked Mon to close the gate and toss mine in here.”
“Why did you do that?”
“So that I can play with my toy in peace.”
“Since when do I bother you while you are playing with your toy?”
“The last time was two minutes ago.”
“You mean when I was going to check for a squeaker?”
“Yup. Squeaker check now, sopping wet toy later.
“That’s not fair.”
“As is life cricket.”

Tempeste can’t be blamed for possessing such youthful exuberance. Hell, I feel envious of that spirited curiosity! But as her wise teacher knows, there is a time for sharing and a time for drawing back and giving your sister her space. And yes, it involves drool.

Ha ha ha. You would think, since both toys are identical, Tempeste would be satisfied with hers. No, she has to come over to Twiggy’s. Thanks, Marco.

I don’t miss the drool. Lucy doesn’t drool. As for squeakers, why do they all sound the same? The duck, octopus, leopard, lamb, rabbit, dog, chicken, et al, all sound like the mouse under my stove. Twiggy likes her privacy, doesn’t she?

I think there is one squeaker maker in China, and they modeled the sound after a mouse under the owner’s stove. Twiggy does like to play with her toys in private. Otherwise, it is the start of a ruckus by Tempeste.
