The Great Escape

Overheard, Chez PractiGal....

Crissy: The time has come!

Velvet: The time for what has come?

C: The time for our escape. We've been trapped here for far too long. It's time we blow the lid off this toy box and see the world.

V: Well, now that you mention it, I have had enough of the shenanigans around here. I mean it's not like that little boy loves us or anything.

C: Exactly. All he wants are trains, trains, trains. In fact, I'm having a vivid flashback right now... remember that game he played with you?

V: I'll never forget it. But where will we go? What will we do?

C: Oh I don't know,... but our first step is to get out of this kid's bedroom and go downstairs.

V: Right! Let's go.

C: Arrgh! They really didn't think of us little people when they made these stairs!

V: Complain, complain. That's all you ever do.

C: Alright. We made it. Now for our next move. Here's something I saw on Gilligan's Island. Let's try it and see if we can get someone to rescue us.

V: Riiiiiiigggghhhtttt. That'll be happening. NOT!

C: Well, what brilliant ideas do you have?

V: Well, why not raid the kid's piggy bank? Surely he's got to have enough to get us out of here.

C: You're proposing that we steal from a child?

V: You have a better idea?

C: Oh alright. Let's see what he's got.

V: Hmmm. Not much. But hopefully enough to get us to a caring, loving home. I'd love to wind up with a compassionate, creative little girl. Someone who will cherish us and care for us when we're sick. And maybe take us out on the town if we're really good.

C: Now you're dreaming. Get in the box! Let's go...

It's not a stretch to see where the boy gets his imagination from.

[Chris]

That is the cutest thing ever, but part of me is kinda' worried about you. Don't get out much, do you? LOL

[Marie]

Sarcasmom, They say insanity is hereditary, right? You get it from your kids.... at least that's my story! ;-)

Chris, what was your first clue?!! :-)
