Conversation with Waldo

I WAS TRYING TO GET EVERYONE IN BED EARLIER TONIGHT. I COULD TELL WALDO WAS REALLY WORRIED ABOUT SOMETHING.

WALDO, WHAT IS BOTHERING YOU??

MOM, I HATE TO SAY THIS BUT, WELL, MOM, YOU ARE WORRYING ALL OF US.

WHY DO YOU SAY THAT WALDO??

UMMM, MOM DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT YOU DID TODAY?

PRETTY MUCH.

WELL, WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR SHAGGY POODLE, EDIE?? YOU LEFT WITH HER THIS MORNING. I HEARD YOU TELL BUTTONS THAT SHE WOULD GO WITH YOU TO PICK HER UP. THEN, THIS AFTERNOON, YOU WERE DOING ALL KINDS OF STUFF. YOU WERE REALLY WORRIED OVER THE YORKIES AND YOU WORKED WITH THEM A LOT. THEN SUPPER CAME AND WENT. AND NOW WE ARE GETTING READY FOR BED AND YOU HAVE NOT MENTIONED EDIE. SHE IS NOT HERE MOM.

I KNOW WALDO, SHE IS HAVING A SLEEPOVER WITH MISS CINDY. I DID NOT THINK THAT WOULD BOTHER ANY OF YOU BULLDOGS. ALL OF YOU MAKE FUN OF EDIE. YOU TELL HER SHE IS TOO TALL, NO WRINKLES, AND SHE IS DITZY.

BUT MOM.....

NO WALDO, YOU ARE JUST AS BAD AS THE REST AT MAKING FUN OF HER.

WE KINDA OF MISS HER. SHE WAS OUR OWN PERSONAL CLOWN. REMEMBER WHEN SHE GOT UP ON THE BENCH AND LOOKED IN THE WINDOW AT YOU. AND, AND, YOU KNOW HOW SHE HANGS OVER THE KITCHEN DOOR LOOKING AT YOU???

YEA, I KNOW.

WELL, HER CHRISTMAS TOYS ARE HERE. ISN'T SHE GOING TO MISS THOSE??? AND WE REALLY DON'T MEAN ANYTHING BY SAYING THOSE THINGS TO HER. SHE TELLS US WE ARE FAT, AND MAKE A LOT OF STINKIES.

IS SHE GOING TO COME HOME MOM???

YES, SHE IS. MISS CINDY IS GOING TO LET US KNOW. I GOT TO MEET SOME OF MISS CINDY'S KIDS TODAY. SO EDIE IS PROBLAY FOOLING WITH THEM ALSO. THEY TOOK LOTS OF PICTURES OF EDIE WHEN SHE GOT THERE.

I DIDN'T KNOW MISS CINDY HAD KIDS. WHAT ABOUT KAYLEE??? IS SHE GOING TO BE UPSET WITH EDIE BARGING INTO HER HOME??

WALDO, EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING WILL BE ALLRIGHT. YOU REALLY NEED TO GET TO BED.

OKAY MOM. UMM MOM, ONE MORE THING, IS TOMORROW CHEESEBURGER FRIDAY???

YES, WALDO.

CAN I HAVE HER EDIE'S CHEESEBURGER????

NO, YOU CANNOT. YOU ARE CHEESEBURGER CRAZY. NOW GET TO BED BEFORE YOU TURN INTO A CHEESEBURGER.

OH MOM, YOU ARE SO SILLY. BUT WE STILL LOVE YOU.

I LOVE ALL OF YOU TOO WALDO.

EVEN EDIE MOM???

YES, I THINK I MISS HER MORE THAN I THOUGHT I EVER WOULD WALDO, NOW SWEET DREAMS.

NIGHTY NIGHT MOM.

NIGHTY NIGHT WALDO.
