“And just where do you think you’ve been, Mom?”
Me? I went to a neighborhood gathering down the street.

ask
“And did you ask us if you could be gone during treat time?”
No… I forgot to ask, Chewy.

forgot
“Oh, you forgot. Is that your excuse?”
Wow, you seem upset. I’m sorry I missed treat time, Chewy. I was visiting with neighbors.

talk
“Talk to the tail ’cause the beak don’t want to hear it.”
That’s harsh, buster. I guess you don’t want to hear about my neighbor picnic.

treats
“Why? Was it nice? Did you bring us back some treats?”

treats
“I’m sorry. You can talk to my beak, especially if you have treats.”

Thanks, Chewy. Yes, Flapper. It was a nice picnic. We have good neighbors. And yes, I did bring you some treats.

forgiven
“All is forgiven. Yay for treats!”

yep
“Mom? Let’s try to be on time tomorrow, okay?”

You got it, buster.
