“It’s so hot out, I think we should play inside.” “I agree. You doing that marshmallow again, huh?” “It’s like an old friend. I can’t help myself.” “I would say your friend needs a bath.” “Maybe you should find a toy you can’t live without.” “Maybe I’ll wait a few years to get set in […]

“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 […]

I’m sorry for the goof-up yesterday. Tempeste jumped up on the couch while I was working on the post, and poof, the post was published. It was far from finished, so I had to take it down. Sorry for any confusion. “Ladies. Today is going to be a hot one, so it’s indoor play for […]

Come on down and get another toy.” “I’m going to do Hot Dog. What about you?” “I have a hold of Coco/DoughDough.” You going to play […]

“Tempeste, why aren’t you testing the fence?” “For one, this tasty leaf needs to be finished.” “Is there a for two?” “Well, from here it looks mighty wicked.” “What do you mean, ‘wicked?’” “It might be electrified.” “Dad would never do that.” “He would get pretty excited when I busted through the old one.” “Yeah, […]

The only things in those vines are lizards and birds.” “I think there’s some kind of creepy crawly up there.” “You’d better get off that rickety fence.” “Lizards could be classified as creepy crawly.” “Hold on. I’m coming.” “I think we […]
