Security!

by carolynholm

Mom,
The bed attacked me!
Winston

Dear Winston,
No, that was Charlie, when you crawled under the sheets while I was trying to change them. 
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
I was TRAPPED!!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
Not really. You just somehow got yourself wrapped in the sheet. And Charlie totally took advantage of the situation and pounced right on you. I’m sorry that made you panic. 
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
It was HORRIFYING!
Winston

Dear Winston,
It was just a sheet, honey. But I understand. You got tangled. And you totally panicked when Charlie landed on top of you. I did feel badly for you! 
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
You laughed.
Winston

Dear Winston,
Ok, I did, but it was sort of an accidental snort.
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
I couldn’t get out!!!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
But I lifted the sheet and saved you! And see? You’re ok now, right?
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
I was so worried. I ran out of the room. I yelled SCURITY SCURITY!!!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
So, were you saying Scurry Scurry? Like run really fast? Or Security Security? You do know that we live in a very safe environment here, and we don’t need to call Security, right? 
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
Thank god we have Poppy for that!
Winston

Dear Winston,
I’m not sure Poppy is really what we’d call a Security Dog.
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
You mean we have NOTHING to protect us?
Winston

Dear Winston,
We have neighbors on all sides, all ready to save us if we need it.
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
Does Poppy know that?
Winston

Dear Winston,
We won’t tell her. We’ll let her continue to think she’s in charge of security.
Love, Carolyn
