“You going to play with that stupid marshmallow again?”
“Yes. What’s the problem?”
“This is looking like last week. You and that marshmallow and me doing nothing.”
“There are lots of toys over there. Go get one.”
“I don’t want to. I think we should play.”
“Well then, you’ll just have to wait.”
“Do you know how hard it is for me to do that?”
“I do, but it is something that is good for you.”
“You are right. I should be able to play by myself.”
“Hmm. This marshmallow has some funk connected with it.”
“Does that mean you are finished?”
“I think so. Funny thing about these toys. They turn on ya after a while.”
“So, we can play?”
“Sure. Just give me a moment to get that taste out of my mouth.”
“Where are you going?”
” To the mountain top where all puma’s go to protect themaelves.”
“You need help there, Grandma?”
“Very funny. No, I don’t need help.”
“Prepare yourself for the panther attack.”
“Prepare yourself for the puma revenge.”
I have the same problem with my husband as he dives into another highly technical article on the latest research to a whole raft of topics, whilst I would quite like to pop out for lunch perhaps lol. hugsx

Twiggy, it sounds like your marshmallow is maxxed out!
Yes, puma time sounds fab. You might want to grab a nap on the mountain top.
Tell dad our power went out yesterday for a couple of hours. No lights, tv, internet. OH, we had candles when it got dark.
Anyway, I shut everything off to save power, just in case.
Then later, it was so nice having all that quiet, that I didn’t turn things back on until morning. (except the lights)
Have fun this week!
