Conversations with Min

[pjthompson]

Min (sitting in the high window): I want that crow out there! Pleeeease give me that crow!

Me: No.

Min: Pleeeeese??

Me: Baby love, that crow is almost as big as you are.

Min: But I want it! It would be such fun!

Me: If you were out there face to face with that crow, it would scare you to death.

Min: No, it wouldn't. I'm largely over my tendency to get skittish. (A loud bang outside. Min dashes under the bed.)

Me: You see? You'd be scared to death of that crow.

Min (from under the bed): Okay, how about the squirrel?

Me: No.

Min: One of those little bitty birds? Pleeease?

Me: Sorry.

Min: You are so mean to me.

Gee whiz, you could at least get her a hamster.*



*Maeve made me say that!

That's because Meavey understands.

Why Min can't play with the mouse who lives under the washer, I'll never understand.

[merebrillante.livejournal.com]

Because the washer is big, and Min's arms are short. Min can't play with Mousie if Mousie won't come out and play with her.

Stupid un-fun Mousie!
