Dolphin, here
Aug 20th, 2007 by Elsi
Well, I spent the spring and fall sending emails and making plans. Somehow my plans never seem to quite make the grade—my mama (you may know her as Elsi) stumbles around and foils my excellent plans far too often.
She’s been busy at her school today, and is tired tonight, and I’m taking advantage of this to get online. Quickly, before she comes in:
Aunt Jane, thanks for the grass. Why doesn’t it taste like meat?
Aunt Vicki and Aunt Shannie, please come over and pat my tummy!
Friend Reep, We need to start planning for next summer. We will conquer; we will be victorious—the team of Dolphin, saber-toothed tiger extraordinaire, and Reep, ptero-eagle to the max, will be unbeatable. In the meantime, keep working on the opposable thumb problem, okay?
It is rather fun to sneak on the computer when the featherless/furless two leggers aren’t looking, isn’t it? Right now I’m perfecting my typing skills. I’m getting rather fast. (Not that I’m afraid the dear-one-who-feeds-me will come back soon and discover me. Of course not. Even if she did know of my impressive computer skills I wouldn’t be afraid of her. I only use the computer in secret so that she won’t find out about you and our plans to take over the world - next summer.)
So far I haven’t found a solution to the opposable thumb problem. I’m still working on it though. Of course, I expect that we shall be absolutely unbeatable next summer. Really, we have almost a whole year to make plans. Our victory is sure already.
Your friend,
Reep
I find it a good tactic to placate the featherless/furless two-leggers—when it doesn’t interfere with more important activities, that is. They are so out-of-touch—mine is totally unaware that we are communicating in this manner!
