Swirling Slides

Mr. Fixit: Good Morning. 

Don: Where did you sleep? 

Mr. Fixit: Downstairs. 

Don: I was swirling my way down on a slide to those bedrooms. 

Kristy: Did you dream this journey down a swirling slide? 

Don: No, it was real. 

Kristy: What a thrill so early in the day. 

Don: My shoes don’t fit, and I want my flip-flops. I want cereal for breakfast. I want a glass of water. I need my pills. 

Kristy: Do you want coffee with all that?

Don: Yeah, I want my black Beaver coffee mug. 

Kristy: We have a black Seahawks coffee mug. Is that what you mean?

Don: No, it’s a Beaver, and it’s a Starbucks. 

Kristy: Maybe so in your memory, but I wash the dishes around here, and I’m telling you there’s no Starbuck’s Beaver in the house.

Note to Self: Like I don’t know the difference between a Seahawk and a Beaver?
