“Now Beast we want to thank you for carrying us to safety and then bathing us with thy tongue.”
“Ma and I are forever beholden to you Beast. What can we do to repay you for heroicly delivering us from the crazed villagers.”
“Hello, what sayeth you?”
“He sayeth nothing, Pa.”
“Well Ma I sayeth we have much to be thankful for this day!”
“Yes Pa, I agree!”
That was hilarious! I often wondered what happens when I leave that mischievous duo out in the open by themselves! My Papa Pilgrim has an unexplained chip on his belt buckle …. hmmm.
Thanks for the giggles.
