humming "Life's A Happy Song" while packing and tossing Gaffer out of my suitcase for what seems like the millionth time.Finally I open my bedroom door,pick up the cat, plant a kiss on top of her head,tell her, Gaffer, I love you, but I seriously need to get this packing done.Go see if Grover or anyone wants to play with you and am JUST about to close the door when Robin comes in Hi Mom.
Hey kiddo....almost ready for bed?
Robin: Yeah..just wanted to give you something extra to pack.
Really? What?
Robin: Me! No....just kiddin'giving me a framed picture of me and him So you don't forget me.
Robin! What makes you think I'll forget you?
Robin: Well...you liked that ship so much when you were on it last time. You'll be busy doin' things.
Robin... taking his flippers in my hands I'd never EVER forget you! Even when I was on the cruise last year I thought of you!
Robin: Really?
Of course! And that singer Bowzer won't be on there this year. Just my older brother and his family. But not my older niece. She has school. Since I'll have a cabin all to myself, I'll keep this picture on my bedside table all right?
Robin: Okay. hugging me I love you around the world and back again Mom.
And I love you around the world and back again. Forever and a day!

Rhonda: sigh...

Something the matter?

Rhonda: I hear there's a new ghoul in town.

A new...er. Uh. Okay. And?

Rhonda: She dresses better than me! *flings down gossip page of the local paper, open to the "debutante debut" headline with a stunning photo of a scrumptious fangy redhead* SEE? How I am supposed to compete with THAT?

Er...um...why does it have to be a competition? Can't you both just, um...be lovely together? Separately?

Rhonda: NO I can't just -- what? What did you call me?

Um. I mean. Is that bad for a rat?

Rhonda: Ya know Goldie, some days you're okay. Wanna go grab a ginger beer?

Um...sure? *whispers confusedly as he walks out the door after a suddenly cheerful rat* What did I say?

Heh...just go with it, Newsie. Enjoy your drink.

Rhonda: You're paying, hotshot. Let's go.

*grumble*

[The Count]

*Returns home. Good to have spent the evening with family for Mom's birthday.
Vhere did you go?
Danny's, it's a local pizzeria my second brother frequents. We got the four-slice individual pies.
And yours?
Hawaiian-style with the napples made for pies, shrimps, and octopus pieces. They surprised me by adding cherries too.
And they came out to sing like they do at almost everywhere if you tell them a birthday's taking place.
Yep... At least we got out of that noise.
*Stores leftover pizza in the fridge for tomorrow.
*Wonders how the Ru-crew's doing upstairs.
* feeds Fatatita and Gaffer, looking after both cats while Kathy's away.

 

[newsmanfan]

Cherry calamari pizza. Excuse me. I need to go cleanse my brain...

[The Count]

Squid? No, just octopus. And it was only a few cherries, they probably added those because of the pineapples.

*Tunes in to catch an episode of that new sitcom, Monsters from Heck, on MMN. We just love that channel.

Bert: I'm sorry what?

Ellie: *giggles* Sorry, that's a song, I heard it before school today and I felt the need to use a lyric in conversation. Oh...today can be use song lyrics in conversation day!

Bert: Why would anyone want to use song lyrics in conversation?

Ellie: Well, for starters, its fun...that's all I really want! Some fun!

Rhonda: I take it you're not gonna sing.

Not in the mood. There are serious things going on, Rhonda.

Rhonda: All the more reason to dance our cares away, worries for another day! *copies The Wayne, but adds a couple of slide-steps and zumba moves to it designed to show off her silky legs*

You are officially NOT my producer today.

Rhonda: I think somebody needs a...

WATERBALLOONFIIIIIIGHT!!! *Kris springs the waterballoon slingshot out the window; eighty yards away, a passing Frackle goes down soaked* Woo HOO! Yardage!

Rhonda: That was awesome. Lemme try.

Be my guest...be my guest, put your muscles to the test...

Keep it up. I'll lock my door.

Rhonda: You thinking what I'm thinking?

Yes, but if he had no glasses, it would throw off the slipstream...

Rhonda: Hah! Which floor are they on?

Er... *consulting roster* Third. So his flight will have to curve down and sideways.

Flight? Waitaminute...

Rhonda: You grab his arms.
