WHY I TOOK THE BANANAS

by Doc

This is why I took the Bananas off the counter.
And the dishcloth out of the sink.
And ate the-------oh. I'm not supposed to talk about that.
And chewed the plastic flowerpot up.
And the bucket.
And took the lug wrench with the rubber handles.
And the bread.
And the gloves.
And those things used to tie stuff onto the top of the Van.
And the tarp with the bricks on it.


See, the weather has been nasty. Wet. Very wet. Windy. Very windy. Windy I love because it blows stuff into the yard for me to get, like little balls that Mama took away, and the baggies that Mama took away, and the bread, that Mama took away she said the squirrels dropped it.
Wet is ok too I don't mind but the Bassets hate it when I chase them through the puddles and Mama doesn't like it when I come in the house and shake.

So I've been inside. Shoes. I forgot about the shoes. And the slippers.

Class got canceled.
Nothing to do.

So. I tried. I did. First, I chewed my chewy.

And I did that for a long time. Really. At least a minute. I tried.
I think that was when the bananas fell off the counter into my mouth.
Mama took them.
I was trying to figure out how to peel them when she caug--found me.
I let her have them I don't like bananas much anyway.

She said why don't you do something constructive?

So I did.

This is me guarding the house. I am standing on the sofa. I do a good job of this. I know I do because Mama says I do.

                         OOOOOOOOOOOOSQUIRREL!!!!

oh and I forgot about the underpants....
