Avery and Fred: A Dialogue

Fred brought his favorite toy over to where Avery was playing on the floor and the following conversation took place:

Avery: "That's a nice slipper you have there."

Fred: "It's mine. You don't touch."

Avery: "But I'd really like to see it."

Fred: "Hmmm. You'd have to be extra careful."

Avery: "I will, I promise."

Fred: "Okay, maybe just for a minute then."

7 seconds later . . . .

Fred: "Okay, that's long enough. I'll take that back now."

Avery: "Hey!"

They had a pretty good time and Fred was veeerrrrry gentle and shared with her like a good boy, if even for just a few seconds - too cute! He deserved a biscuit!

Fred: "Did someone say 'biscuit'?"

Fred: "I'm such a good boy!"

Ginger: "All this playing has me exhausted."
