I Hope that Wasn't Shamrock

Saturday, June 24, 2006

Friday, Joe and Wallace were to partner in the mile-swim. And Ivy called into the church office that same morning to report on something, absently-mindedly interrupting herself:

“Oh!… Sorry. I’m just looking at my purse. Maxwell’s been chewing on it. Teethmarks!”

Also in regards to cats, Rose was afraid that she had accidentally discovered the remains of Shamrock, after having found two “kitty cat” jaws and teeth by the woods. But OLeif thought that is was not likely Shamrock.

Meanwhile, back in the conference room, the Coca-Cola boys and Liepaja were in a particularly fine humor, the boys laughing rambunctiously and rather sporadically, making their own mother laugh.

“Stop laughing, Mom, stop laughing, Mom, stop laughing, Mom,” Nacchianti laughed.

Then Creole almost squealed over something and Liepaja hushed them both. But the laughing continued.

That evening, OLeif treated Collette to dinner that night over The New World where, in the special features, Collette watched one of the Indians push a thin green snake through is earlobe.

“Cool! That makes me want to get my ear pierced!” OLeif laughed heartily.

Later, as Collette was about to fall asleep, OLeif tried to mess with her mind by talking about strange and unrelated things, in an attempt to provoke weird dreams:

“And Tim-Tom the Tulip said, ‘I’ll give you a penny for a pound of sharp cheddar’….”

It did bring on odd dreams, but nothing related to flowers or cheese.
