You did right thing, Bob - have noticed humans never like it when we bring a treasure home!
ReplyDeleteCan't understand why Mom gibbering something about searching for the Little People since she was a mini-human and it just not being fair, tho'...
PS Am told she dressed from head to toe in green. Don't see any sign of gumbo pot, tho'.
ROFL! I don't suggest you tell that story to your Mama and Papa Bob. They won't understand.
