Mel Stuck “Would you hold still?” “Well, it hurts.” “You shoulda thought about that before you did it.” “It seemed like a good idea at the time.” “And now?” “Okay, so it was a stupid thing to do.” “I didn’t say it was stupid, you just need to think things through a bit more sometimes is all.” “I guess. Hey, that hurt!” “How else am I supposed to get it out? Quit actin’ like a baby.” “Well, it’s not my fault. He dared me to do it.” “And that was your first indication it was a bad idea.” “Yeah, I guess so. But I really wanted one.” “You shouldn’t have tried to force it. It was just too small for you.” “It looked like it would fit.” “Looks can be deceiving, you know.” “Yeah. I got it though.” “That remains to be seen. I still have to get you out of this. This isn’t exactly in my job description.” “I think it’s coming out. Just a bit more of that greasy stuff.” “Wiggle that way a bit. No, the other way. Now twist it around some. I think that’s got it. Try to pull it out.” “Whew! I thought I was gonna have to go through the whole rest of the war with that stuck to me.” “So is it okay?” “Yeah, my hand seems to be okay.” “Not your hand, I can see that ain’t hurt. Did you get the cookie out of the jar without messing it up?” “Yeah, I didn’t even squish it.” “Good. I’ll take that as payment for services rendered.” “Aw, that’s no fair. I got it for me.” “There’s a whole jar on the next shelf that’s full of them.” “Well you coulda told me that before, you know.” “This time, just break the jar. Save us both some trouble.” “You coulda told me THAT before, too.” “Life is full of lessons. “I suppose. Hey, can you help me reach that other jar?” “For half.” “Half?!” “Half.” “Oh, alright. I wouldn’t say yes, but I know you don’t want ‘em all for yourself. Okay. Half.” “There’s a chair over in the corner you can stand on.” “And that little bit of information just cost me half, didn’t it?” “Yep. You didn’t say how I had to help you.” “Half. Jeez.” END Feedback |
