Interesting Thing

The squirrel outside my window said, “What are you doing?”

I said, “I’m writing my Better Late than Dead blog.”

The squirrel said, “How do you decide what to write about?”

I said, “I write interesting things that happen to me during the day.”

The squirrel said, “Am I interesting?”

I said, “Yes, actually I’m writing about you now.”

The squirrel got embarrassed and said, “Well, what are you saying about me?”

I said, “I’m just writing our conversation.”

The squirrel said, “Do you have any peanut butter?”

I said, “Yes.”

The squirrel said, “Can I have some?”

I went into the kitchen and scooped some peanut butter with my fingers. I came back to the window and held my fingers out to the squirrel who nibbled away.

The squirrel said, “That was delicious. Thanks…Oh, my God, are you writing that down too?”

I said, “Yes.”

The squirrel said, “Ahh…I gotta go.”
