DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING AT WALDO'S HOME

 

 

 

WALDO-- "Mom, do you realize it is almost Turkey day and I have not seen a turkey laying around anywhere."

 

MOM-- "Well Waldo, perhaps the turkey is still walking around outside, it may have even flown away."

 

WALDO-- "Mom, you are so funny, you know turkeys do not fly or walk."

 

MOM-- "Well Waldo, where do you think turkeys come from?"

 

WALDO-- "Gee mom, everyone knows they are made and sold at the supermarket. You act like they were alive at one time. Now get serious, when is ours coming?"

 

MOM-- "Waldo, I already bought it and it is in the freezer. Also, I have the stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, eggs for ………."

 

WALDO-- "Sorry to interrupt, but what abut the rolls and butter? And about the dessert, what are we having? We want a cake decorated with bones on it. Miss zipper wants egg custard, whatever that is."

 

MOM-- "Waldo, maybe you can help with the dishes this year, in the past you seem to disappear when the dinner is finished."

 

WALDO-- "Mom, it is a major football day. Last year Miss Buttons hogged the TV to watch the dog show. In the morning before dinner, Miss Liberty and her friends had to watch the parade. This year I have it covered, I will not miss anything. Justice, RJ, Puzzle, Cooter, all of us guys will be sitting back and watching what we want. Not a chance that we will miss anything. The girls are out of luck."

 

MOM-- "Waldo, you are talking pretty positive, how can you be so sure? Tell me what is going to happen."

 

WALDO-- "Because mom, I have made some arrangements in advance. We guys have a plan."

 

MOM-- "Okay, maybe I better hear about these plans. I am listening."

 

WALDO-- "Well, Cooter, being just a little squirt is going to crawl behind the TV and disable the cable. Hehehe I did not realize how handy a 2 pound 9 oz Yorkie can be. Then that jumping Papillion, RJ, well he is going to jump up and push the remote to the floor. At that point, pretty boy Justice (who we all know steals so much) is going to take the remote and hide it. And Puzzle the Shih Tzu is going to provide distractions so no one notices what is going on in the living room. Yep, it is all planned and under control mom."

 

MOM-- "Waldo, can I assume you are the mastermind behind all of this? However, I did not hear exactly what you are actually going to be doing."

 

WALDO-- "That is the cool part, I am not actually gong to be doing anything. Well, I will be sitting on the TV Guide. Hehehe"

 

MOM-- "Okay Waldo, now I know your plans. What about the girls? Do you think this plan is fair to them? What if they want to watch TV?"

 

WALDO-- "Mom, they have girl stuff to do, like washing the dishes and planning to put up the Christmas decorations. They have to figure out what gifts to get us guys too."

 

BELLA-- "Okay Mr. Waldo, I heard everything and you are not getting by with it, is he mom?"

 

WALDO-- "Bella! You nosy Papillion! You hear everything with your big ears! Mom--isn't she in trouble for eavesdropping on our private conversation? Isn't she?"

 

MOM-- "Goodness Bella, he has a point. It is not very nice to listen in on other people's conversations. But Waldo, you are planning something sneaky that is not really fair to the girls."

 

WALDO-- "It is always one sided Mom. The girls always get everything. It is just not fair. Us boys never get to do anything. Come on Mom, do not destroy turkey day for us guys. PLEASE!!!!!"

 

MOM-- "I know in the past that the girls have always gotten to do as they pleased. Maybe I have an idea that will be fair to all. How about this year, the girls go to my bedroom and watch the TV there. And you guys can have the living room. Would that make everyone happy?"

 

WALDO-- "Gee mom, that is cool. You always figure out stuff. I guess that is why you are second in command around here."

 

MOM-- "Second in command, who is first?"

 

WALDO-- "Of course it is Buckwheat the parrot, he rules the roost. That is what he tell us when you are not here. "

 

MOM-- "Whatever, Waldo, why don't you end this blog entry."

 

WALDO-- "Sure Mom, we hope everyone will have a safe and God blessed Thanksgiving. Be sure to thank God for everything he has bestowed upon us."

 

 

Love and Blessings,

Sir Waldo, Elizabeth, and the Gang!!!
