*cue tweeting noises*
Allie: *chomp*
*cue silence*
Allie: *pat-pat-pat* ... hullo in there?
*brings bird to ear to listen*
*more silence*
Faraday: Allie! You broke it!
MOMMMMMMM, ALLIE BROKE THE BIRD!
Allie: I did no such thing. This bird is obviously defective.
(Girlie, it's broken. No tweets remain. Even The Physicist can't fix it.)
Faraday: You're taking that out of her allowance, right?
.... right, Mommy?
The Mom: Well, it was nice while it lasted.
(Don't tell them The Physicist is suspected of sabotage. That thing tweeted. A lot.)

Without direct proof that Allie's bite deaded that bird, I say she's innocent!
ReplyDeleteThe bird just up and died on you? How rude and inconsiderate! To miss the chance to teach him a lesson and kill him yourself. Don't worry Allie, we know it's not your fault ... but that Faraday ...
ReplyDeleteBear, that HAD to be you writing that. Ellie just wouldn't.
DeleteDon't worry, Allie, even real birds don't last and tweet as long as this one ! Purrs
ReplyDeletePoor birdie!!! We're betting one of your brothers did it, Allie.
ReplyDeletePoor birdie.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I gather that the birdie not working is a human issue.
ReplyDeleteAllie we get about a day if we are lucky about things like that. Our physicist did fix our String Fling but Rumpy keeps breaking it. sigh
ReplyDeleteDoes it need a battery? Did the human take it out?
ReplyDeleteOops! At our end, Ollie caught a little bird whole in his mouth. Fortunately (?), #1 managed to retrieve it and it was OK.
