BONNIE: “And the highlight of the evening’s entertainment was the Fiery Pretzel Dance.”

SQUIRT: That’s not funny. This is funny: “Flaming Squirrel on a string! Aieee!” Heh! Or even better: “Kerosene and squirrels: a tragic mix!”

BONNIE: Heh! You’re going to bring PETA down all over me. Or at the very least, Secret Squirrel is gonna come over here and whup your bottom.

SQUIRT: “Son, I don’t think that’s how you ride your bicycle.”

BONNIE: That’s exactly how you rode your bike when you were a kid.

SQUIRT: No!

BONNIE: It’s true. You were always trying to kill yourself.

BONNIE: Hmmpf.

SQUIRT: Let me think… um, uh…heh! No…

BONNIE: Too late! Time to move on!

SQUIRT: Ha ha ha ha ha!

BONNIE: What? What’s the joke?

SQUIRT: HA HA HA HA!

SQUIRT: (rolls eyes) No, Mom. Give it up!

SQUIRT: Mom.

BONNIE: That’s what I wanted to say, but you beat me to it.

SQUIRT: Sure, Mom.

SQUIRT: “This is what happens when mom picks bad Flickr photos.”

    I’m glad you all liked it—I’ve been trying to get Squirt to work on a Random Flickr Blogging with me for a couple of weeks. He is a persnickety boy, that’s for sure.
